There's a grassroots effort underway to change one of the foundations of NH politics. It's called "The Pledge," the promise many politicians make to veto any new taxes or a broad-based income or sales tax. The Fair Tax coalition worked to place anti-Pledge articles on the warrants of 89 town meetings this year. The votes are in, and both sides are arguing about who won.

| Intro MacDowell/Tax Return to index of stories... |
After years of legal wrangling, the NH Supreme Court has re-affirmed the tax-exempt status of the MacDowell Colony. The town of Peterborough had been seeking property taxes from the artists' retreat. The decision will save the 450 acre retreat.150-thousand dollars a year in taxes. While the case began as an issue of property tax exemption and whether the colony was a charitable insitution for the arts , the lawsuit raised larger questions as to the value such residency programs bring to the community. I sat down with Resident Director David Macy to get some insights on the MacDowell experiement. |

The state's artist laureate is teaming up with one of New Hampshire's most renowned furniture masters on a uniqure project that's taking them back in time. A Nashua woman commissioned them to create an 18-th century style piece of furniture. David Lamb and James Aponovich started work on the "secretary" last spring -- the piece has a bookcase on top, desk in the center and drawers on the bottom. Collector Diane Griffith is responsible for the venture. Having purchased pieces from Lamb in the past she had longed to work with Aponovich. Even though it will be considered a work of art Griffith also wants the "secretary" to function as an every day piece of furniture.
