Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Welcome to this Friday Edition of New Hampshire Outlook. The state budget has been signed and delivered. Do you have your EZ Pass yet? And a Supreme Court decision hits home. We'll get to those stories in a moment. First, joining us from Concord, we have Norma Love of the Associated Press and Kevin Landrigan of the Telegraph. And in our Durham studio, Jeff Feingold of NH Business Review. Welcome all. |
| Budget Debate Return to index of stories... |
The State has a new budget for a new biennium. On Wednesday, the Senate and then the House passed legislation that will spend $8.6 billion over the next two years. The budget bill passed easily in the Senate but faced tougher going in the House. |

House Bill 2, the so-called trailer bill was the more contentious bill up for vote. It was where many items affecting the budget ended up. Here's some of the debate. We begin with Republican Mike Whalley - making what proved to be the prevailing argument. And then Republican Steve Vaillancourt - making a unique critique of the trailer bill with a literary reference to the children's classic, The Little Prince. |
| Weather vote Return to index of stories... |
The budget vote was stormy in more than one sense. Even for veteran legislators who have endured many a hot late June session, Wednesday was a day to remember. |
| Lynch/EZ Pass Return to index of stories... |
Governor Lynch signed both the budget and trailer bill despite his reservations. In particular, he objected to the Medicaid reform known as Granite Care being included in the trailer bill - instead of passing or failing on its own. And then there's E-Z Pass, which the Legislature has taken away from the Governor and Council with a plan to sell transponders for full price and eliminate tokens by the end of the year. |
