Unless something changes, those officers could soon be out of a job. We'll have a discussion of this issue in a few minutes but first, here's a look at the latest irritant in the relations between the court system and the legislature. |

Greenspan's remarks were interpreted by some analysts as a sign that the Fed may again cut interest rates next month. That - however - did not make for a positive day on Wall Street. |

| Flag vote Return to index of stories... |
Bass, Sununu support flag desecration amendment plan -- Congressmen Charles Bass and John Sununu were on the winning side in a House vote to approve a Constitutional amendment to ban desecrating the America flag. It was the fourth time in six years that the House endorsed a flag desecration amendment. Once again, however, the effort is likely to be defeated in the Senate. It must win a two-thirds majority in the Senate, then be approved by three-fourths of state legislatures to become law and overturn Supreme Court rulings that flag-burning and other acts of desecration are protected under First Amendment free speech rights. |

Police in Concord are warning residents to be on the lookout for telephone scams. Last night, a man claiming to be collecting money for a charity called an off-duty Concord Police officer. When the officer tried to pin the scam artist down on several questions, the man hung up. Police say they believe the call was bogus. You can check a list of registered Charities on the New Hampshire Charitable Trust web site. The State consumer Protection office says as a rule of thumb you should take your time before committing to anyone on the phone. If you're feeling pressured to provide personal information, that's your first warning that it could be a scam. |
