| Budget Cuts Return to index of stories... |
In the wake of declining state revenues, Governor Jeanne Shaheen has won legislative approval for six-point-five-million-dollars in budget cuts. Almost six-million of that will come from state agency budgets. And 800-thousand-dollars will be saved by delaying aid payments to the state's university system. Some members of the joint Fiscal Committee say those cuts might not be enough. Preliminary estimates for business tax revenues show a 30-million-dollar shortfall. Shaheen is urging caution, saying that some economists think the recession may soon be over. |

A legislative committee is paving the way for Dean Kamen's Segway scooter to zip around in New Hampshire. The scooter is being tested this week in Florida. But here in the Granite State on Tuesday a Senate committee approved a bill that will allow the scooters on sidewalks and roads. Riders would have the same rights and duties as pedestrians but would be required to yield the right-of-way to walkers. Governor Jeanne Shaheen supports the bill. She says the Segway is an example of the kind of technology New Hampshire can produce. The bill now heads to the full Senate. |
