Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Beth Carroll is off. Welcome to this Friday Edition of New Hampshire Outlook. This week - belt-tightening on the state budget, who's got the plan for education funding and local efforts to prevent cases like Terry Schiavo in New Hampshire. Joining us from the State House in Concord, Norma Love of the Associated Press and Kevin Landrigan of the Telegraph, and in our Durham studio we have Jeff Feingold of the NH Business Review. Welcome all. |
| State Budget Return to index of stories... |
We begin with the state budget Five million here, 100 million there - pretty soon we're talking real money. As in cuts to the proposed state budget. When Governor Lynch released his budget last month, a lot of state legislators - particularly Republicans - accused him of avoiding the tough cuts by relying on over-optimistic revenue projections. |
| Education Funding Return to index of stories... |
One major part of the budget is Education Funding. The House education committee has been working on various proposals. It has taken parts of Governor Lynch's plan, which targets aid to towns with lower income, test scores and graduation rates. And it has incorporated part of Rep. Fred King's plan which bases aid on how much money towns can raise in property taxes - and helps those whose tax base is too small. |

The Terry Schiavo case has dominated national news this week - and in a remarkable exercise in timing, the state Senate held hearings into a bill that addresses some of the same end of life issues found in the Schiavo case. Senate bill 134 would make it easier for patients to draw up advance directives such as "Do not Resuscitate" orders |
| Lisa Itse SOT Return to index of stories... |
Under the bill, only two witnesses or a notary would be needed to sign an advance directive. But opponents of the legislation say it would make it too easy to end a life. The committee heard from Lisa Itse of Fremont, whose 11 year old son has been in a vegetative state since birth. |
| E-Z Pass Return to index of stories... |
There's nothin' E-Z about E-Z Pass. Along with debate over the future of tollbooth tokens and discounts, add the concerns of privacy advocates. A bill to eliminate tokens and their discount recently passed in the House by a 2-1 margin, but will it have as easy a ride through the Senate? |
| License Plate Return to index of stories... |
Finally, before we go, next Wednesday, the House will vote on House Bill 720, which addresses a very special concern felt by many legislators. For a bit of background - let's go back in time to Opening Day of the legislature. The House Transportation Committee has recommended the House kill this bill. Although many on the committee agreed the plates were homely - and worse, produced by 3M in Canada instead of at the state prison, they felt it would set a bad example to have the public pay for another new set of plates. |

I'm Richard Ager. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time. |
