Governor Jeanne Shaheen signed into law today a bill that will enable People with disabilities to keep
their health care coverage while holding full time jobs.
Currently, those people lose some of their Medicaid
services if they work full time. Shaheen says that means many
people are forced to remain unemployed in order to keep the
benefits they need.
The new law calls for employed disabled people
to pay part of the cost of continuing their coverage.

The financial troubles at The Pulp and Paper Company of America in Berlinhave trickled down to workers, who were
turned away when they tried to cash their paychecks yesterday.
The company owes the city about one-point-three million in back taxes. This spring, it agreed
to repay 100-thousand dollars a week, but has missed the last four
payments.
The company then had some money wired in, and the
problem was resolved by afternoon.

New Hampshire hunters hoping to bag moose this
fall can now find out if they will get permits to do so.

The computer-generated drawing from about 15-thousand
submissions was held at Fish and Game headquarters for the 585
permits.
The state Fish and Game department says odds of getting a permit
are about one in 25 for New Hampshire residents and one in 50 for
nonresidents.
Permits for New Hampshire residents cost 100 dollars, for
nonresidents 300 dollars.
The season is set for October 20th through 28th.

AP-NH--Hospital Expansion
hmrman
State board gives final OK to hospital expansion
-- State regulators have given final approval to a
major expansion of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Lebanon
The hospital, part of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, plans
to expand its oncology center and an ambulatory surgery center and
add examining rooms and parking.
The Health Services Planning and Review Board had given
preliminary approval to the plan last month. Yesterday's final vote
cleared the way for virtually the entire expansion plan, except for
a brain scanning equipment the hospital had wanted to add.
The plan had faced opposition from Alice Peck Day Memorial
Hospital in Lebanon, which worried about how the expansion would
affect competition. But officials backed off after Mary Hitchcock
officials agreed to work with them to improve the region's health
care.
