Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Energy Forecast Return to index of stories... |
If you were getting ready for blackouts this summer - because the White House said that's what could happen in New Hampshire - you can take a deep breath. The White House now says it made a mistake and instead meant to say there would be blackouts if consumers didn't conserve energy in New ENGLAND, not New Hampshire. Energy suppliers say the prediction was a worst case scenario. |
| Power Probe Return to index of stories... |
Are power prices being manipulated at consumers' expense? A California power expert is being brought in to investigate New England's electricity generators to see if they're manipulating the market. Research will focus on how much it actually costs to produce electricity, and how much it's being sold for. The study is being commissioned by the Massachusetts Attorney General's office to see why the region's wholesale electricity market hasn't become as competitive as planned when the industry was deregulated. |
| Judicial Conduct Return to index of stories... |
Tomorrow's Judicial Conduct Committee has been cancelled. The meeting was to investigate the role of two justices in the JCC's admonishment of Chief Justice David Brock.The JCC was prepared to file ethics charges against Brock last month when Justices John Brodrick and James Duggan became involved and a deal was struck to admonish him instead. Tomorrow's cancellation occurred after Broderick and Duggan asked that their case be heard by new committee members. Such substitutes usually are appointed by the high court, but since the case involves sitting justices, an alternate Supreme Court panel will name the new members. |
| Judicial Reform Return to index of stories... |
The House approved a bill today limiting the term of New Hamphire's Supreme Court Chief Justice. The bill, which the Governor is expected to sign, would place a five-year limit on the seat. Supporters of the bill say that too much power and influence are likely to build when a judge serves too long. If approved, it would go into effect AFTER Supreme Court justice David Brock retires. Judges then would be chosen by seniority, and none could serve two consecutive terms. |
| Zibel Honored Return to index of stories... |
The man whose memorandum launched last year's New Hampshire Supreme Court impeachment inquiry is being honored by the state Bar Associaton. Long-time Supreme Court Clerk Howard Zibel is receiving the Bar Association President's Award for Distinguished Service to the Legal Profession.

| Bush Energy Return to index of stories... |
AP-NH--Bush-Energy-N.H. dewhofn Public Service disputing report on energy forecast -- Public Service Company of New Hampshire disputes a presidential report that says New Hampshire faces a critical energy problem this summer. According a regional summary of the report obtained by The Associated Press, New England's energy situation for this summer is most critical in New Hampshire. It says consumers must conserve power on hot days to avoid blackouts. Public Service spokesman Martin Murray says the prediction is dead wrong. He says there could be problems in case of a prolonged heat wave, combined with power plants being out of service. Murray says all other reports, including one by the agency that manages the region's power grid, say New Hampshire has a power reserve. |
