| Protestors Return to index of stories... |
About 80 protestors gathered outside the auditorium in Durham Tuesday as President Bush gave his speech to 3000 invited guests inside. The protestors were from all over the state and they were not there to protest education, but to express their concern about US foreign policy and our conduct of the War on Terrorism. |
| Kennedy Return to index of stories... |
As we mentioned, Senator Kennedy was in Durham Tuesday as one of the co-sponsors of the Education Bill. Many are heralding the bipartisan spirit - which resulted in the bill's passage - as a model for future use. Kennedy was asked if this bipartisan model can be used effectively when dealing with other legislative issues. |

| Intro to Donohue Return to index of stories... |
So just what does the new education reform bill mean to New Hampshire? Education Commissioner Nick Donohue will be charged with implementing those changes. He was at the President's address and We first asked him what he thought about the speech. |
| Court update Return to index of stories... |
The state Supreme Court announced today that it will consider the question of whether the state must hold schools accountable for providing an adequate education. The court will examine whether existing or additional laws and regulations can provide the necessary accountability. It will give the state and any other parties until February 1st to submit documents on the issue. |
| Intro Con. Amend Return to index of stories... |
In a hearing at the state house Tuesday, House lawmakers discussed amending the state constitution in order to end the state Supreme court's involvement in the claremont lawsuit. The amendment states that the legislature shall determine how education is funded, and court oversight would be restricted to determining whether the legislative decisions have "a rational basis." Producer Richard Ager has the story. |
| Constit. Amendment Return to index of stories... |
Soundup: tape 1 09:43:00 "We believe very strongly that the court was wrong." Track: In a hearing before the House finance committee, supporters of the constitutional amendment made their case that the court should stop trying to determine the state's educational policies. bite: tape 1 09:43:32 The system under Claremont is a bad system. The system provides the power to pass legislation in an undemocratic body. And this is the body that should be passing the legislation - it should have the primary responsibility to pass education and tax policy and that is the purpose of this constitutional amendment. Standup: This constititutional amendment is just the latest attempt by the Legislature to rein in a Supreme Court that many members feel has exceeded its constitutional authority. Bite: 00:59:29 It's for this court to determine whether the state has met that mandate. Not the quality of its effort, but whether the effort exists or not. Track: Last week, the Supreme court heard oral arguments on whether it should retain jurisdiction over the claremont suit, or end it. The amendment's prime sponsor says the legislature shouldn't wait for another ruling. Bite: tape 1 10:03:44 Let's call a spade a spade. They wanted - and I think these judges in 1990 - they wanted an income tax. So they could raise - 3-4% taxes - huge amount. Brand new source of revenue. Track: But some members of the committee said the fault for the unending fight over school funding doesn't lie with the court. Bite: 09:37:48 When I look at what the Supreme court of NH has done again and again and again, it has said we in the supreme court of the state of NH believe it is the legislature's responsibility to decide the definition of an adequate education and the fairest way to fund that education. And each time the case goes back to the court, the court says the same thing. The court does not say we will now make those decisions for you. The court says why don't you get off the dime and make the decisions. And they have said that again and again and again - many of us think ad nauseum. But still the legislature continues to not do what the court has asked. Bite: tape 1 09:41:40 The fact of the matter is, the court has indeed acted upon what it said were the rules of the game, and the rules of the game - we respectfully state - need to be changed. Track: For the constitutional amendment to become law, it would have to pass both the House and Senate by a 3/5ths vote, be put on the ballot in November and there receive a 2/3rds vote. For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |

| Borrowing Binge Return to index of stories... |
Have you been borrowing more money recently? Well you're not alone. The Federal Reserve says Americans have gone on a record borrowing binge led by those no interest new car loans. Consumer credit soared by a seasonally adjusted 19-point-eight billion dollars in November. That's the largest increase since the Fed began record-keeping in 1943. One economist says without the burdens of high energy prices and lofty mortgage rates, consumers have felt comfortable to borrow more -- in spite of the soft economy and weak job market. |
