| Hello/Intro Gatsas Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. We've certainly seen some interesting comings and goings in state Leadership posts in the last year. In 2004, Governor Craig Benson LOST a bid for a 2nd term: the first time in modern history. In December of 2004, Doug Scamman the "old" House speaker, became the "new" House speaker after a 14-year absense. And, this September, Ted Gatsas became Senate President -- when rival Tom Eaton -- was edged out "mid-term" -- paving the way for the Manchester Republican's "history-making" election. |

What did you have to GIVE them for that support?? 3 How will your leadership style DIFFER from that of your predecessor? 4 Just Curious, who gets the basement office you were relegated to?? |

While Senator Gatsas is serving his first year as Senate President, House Speaker Doug Scamman is about to start the second year of a return engagement. He previously served as Speaker from 19-87 to 19-90. His return to the State House was inspired in part by his wife Stella, who ran for her own seat in 2002 and is now in "her" second term. Outlook's Richard Ager talked with them recently about their life in politics, the troubles in the Republican party, and the ups and downs of life as citizen legislators. |

It's cross chamber spouses in New Hampshire. Robert Boyce was elected to the Senate, and his wife, Laura, to the House. Other family teams in the House are father and son Marshall and Matthew Quandt; husband and wife, George and Phyllis Katsakiores, Arthur and Marsha Pelletier, and Joseph and Sandra Harris, and brother and sister, Larry Elliot and Kimberly Dionne. The plethora of legislative spots in New Hampshire allow spouses to represent their district, which may have several seats. There are also overlapping districts and the ability of voters to elect an "at-large" candidate, which ensures a husband-wife political duo if the two are so inclined toward public service. |

Tuesday November 8: All was well considering we had two shows to do. But we didn't do our normal check everything so the IFB was missing and neded batteries. We had to add a tag because it felt to abrupt without it and we had to fix something else but nothing crazy. Everything seemed to go well. |
