Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to tonight's Roundtable edition of New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight with a summary of today's state news. |
| Port Authority Return to index of stories... |
Governor Jeanne Shaheen's nomination to head the New Hampshire Port Authority may be headed for rough waters. An Executive Counseler and authority board member has hinted she won't support Shaheen's nominee. Ruth Griffin says she's disappointed the Governor isn't nominating the man who's serving as the port's acting director. Shaheen is expected to make her nomination at the next Executive Council meeting. |

Tonight Belknap County legislators are expressing concern that high security inmates are being housed in the low security prison in Laconia. The issue arose last week when a prison escapee - sentenced for a parole violation for armed robbery - was sentenced to more jail time. Some legislators say they wonder if the promise from the state to send only medium and minimum security inmates is being honored. Sanbornton Republican Thomas Salatiello said he would favor drafting legislation to restrict higher security inmates from Laconia. |

The saying "you're never too old" really applies when it comes to some Portsmouth veterans of World War Two. School officials are giving veterans the chance to pick up in high school where they left off - when they went to war. Upon their return home, many vets had to go to work to support families instead of continuing their schooling. The Assistant Superintendent envisions a program where veterans might work with students on projects to earn a diploma. |

| School Bus Safety Return to index of stories... |
A Bartlett mother wants to recruit volunteers to nab motorists who don't observe school bus safety lights. Carole White says she got the scare of her life when her son was nearly hit by a car as he left a school bus. Now, she wants the school board to allow volunteers to ride buses - so they can write down license numbers of those motorists who fail to stop when buses are flashing red stop lights. She also wants tougher punishment for offenders, including loss of license or jail time - even for first-time offenders. |
