| Shipyard SOT Return to index of stories... |
Border Dispute hmrptm The long-standing border dispute between Maine and New Hampshire is being heard today at the U-S Supreme Court. Lawyers representing the states are arguing Maine's motion to dismiss New Hampshire's claim to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The yard is the source of five million dollars in yearly income-tax revenue that Maine collects from 13-hundred New Hampshire residents who work there. It's located on Seavey Island in the Piscataqua River, which divides the two states. New Hampshire argues that the state boundary follows Maine's shoreline. But Maine claims the border lies in the middle of the Piscataqua, which puts the yard within its borders. AP |

Two groups opposing the electricity deregulation deal between the state and Public Service Company of New Hampshire alo took their case to the U-S Supreme Court today. The Campaign for Ratepayers Rights and New Hampshire Public Interest Research Group are asking the nation's highest court to overturn a state Supreme Court ruling that upheld the agreement. The state court said it's O-K to charge ratepayers for nearly two billion dollars in past plant investments by Public Service. The two nonprofit advocacy groups argue that forcing ratepayers to pay the so-called stranded costs is an unconstitutional taking. |

| Intro Caucus Return to index of stories... |
The House Finance Committee is under fire for proposing a budget that drastically cuts money for children and other social services over the next several years. Among those programs, the Healthy kids Silver program which provides working parents with health insurance. Joining us from Concord to discuss this are Representative Neal Kirk, head of the finance committee and Representative Mary Jane Wallner, also a finance committee member. Here in the studio is Representative Alida Millham who is on the Health and Human Services Committee. Ms. Wallner and Ms. Millham are members of the Children's Caucus, a bi-partisan Legislative group that addressed children's issues. Mr. Kirk, let's start with you. Is your budget designed to eliminate these program? -- New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen will gather with residents today who are concerned about a House budget plan they believe would rob the state of key services. The House Finance Committee passed a state budget that opponents say would shred preventive services for children. Opponents say the plan would effectively end the Healthy Kids Silver program, leaving thousands of kids of working parents with no affordable health insurance. They say it would also end guaranteed free immunizations for all New Hampshire children and prevent the expansion of support programs for families of chronically ill kids. At today's event, consumers from around the state, representing several of the children's programs being slashed, will talk about the impact these programs have had on their lives and their children's lives. |
