Good Evening. I'm Trish Anderton sitting in tonight for Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight with a summary of today's news. |
| Dartmouth Murders Return to index of stories... |
The second suspect charged in the killings of two Dartmouth College professors should soon be making a court appearance in New Hampshire. Sixteen-year-old James Parker waived extradition today in Indiana. Parker and 17-year-old Robert Tulloch have been charged in the January stabbing deaths of Half and Susanne Zantop. Meanwhile a Vermont judge says she won't decide before Monday whether to release documents relating to the murders. Lawyers for several news organizations want the records opened. But prosecutors say that could hamper their investigation. |
| Early Literacy Return to index of stories... |
Governor Jeanne Shaheen today announced an early learning and literacy initiative. The 6-million-dollar a year program would focus on helping New Hampshire children read at grade level by the end of the third-grade. The proposal includes reading specialists and annual assessment tests. Shaheen said in most of the state's elementary schools more than a quarter of third-graders are lagging behind in reading. |
| Heat Aid Return to index of stories... |
More than a hundred lawmakers on Capitol Hill have signed a letter asking President Bush to tap into the newly-created Northeast home heating oil reserve -- and to release hundreds of millions of dollars in emergency heating aid. The lawmakers say tapping the reserve would mean lower prices for Northeast consumers. There was no immediate reaction from the White House. |
| Land Value Tax Return to index of stories... |
A University of New Hampshire professor will study whether the state should replace its property tax with a land value tax. The plan would tax land at a higher rate, while homes and other buildings are taxed at a lower rate or not at all. Professor Richard England says the tax scheme could encourage building renovations and prevent sprawl. |

Inventor Dean Kamen wants to bring a science and engineering hall of fame to Manchester. Kamen believes an old mill building would be the perfect home for the project. He says the United States is on the edge of losing its technical prowess, and a hall of fame would help promote science and engineering. Kamen's latest invention, a mysterious device called IT, has been the subject of nationwide speculation. Kamen is not expected to reveal what IT is until 2002. |
