Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Ed Funding Vote Return to index of stories... |
At the State House today, the House voted to work on the education funding plan proposed by Senator Ned Gordon. Under that plan, the state would pay for teachers' salaries and special education, while local boards would pay for buildings, administration and transportation. The plan passed the Senate yesterday in spite of questions about its constitutionality. The House voted this afternoon to establish a committee of conference to work with the Senate on the bill. |

In response to the house vote, Governor Jeanne Shaheen released a statement this afternoon. In it, she calls for legislative leaders to work with her in a bipartisan fashion to arrive at a balanced budget and a school funding plan which she feels will not be unconstitutional. |
| Business Tax Vote Return to index of stories... |
No matter how the Legislature decides to spend its education fund, it's going to have to find another way of raising the money. Earlier this afternoon, the Senate voted along party lines to approve a revenue plan that would have doubled the Business Enterprise Tax. That bill then went on to the House where the Republican leadership asked members to approve a committee of conference. |

| Capital Budget Return to index of stories... |
The House today also passed the Senate's 92 million dollar version of the public works budget. The University System of New Hampshire appears to be the big winner. The plan allots 38 million dollars to the University System as part of its six-year, 100 million dollar renovation project. Also included is a sum of one-point-two million dollars for a dental facility at the technical college in Concord. The project is to be repaid with funding from a grant. The public works budget now goes to Governor Shaheen. |
| Keene House VO Return to index of stories... |
It was an unusual sight in Keene today. Two pre-Civil War buildings were moved to save them from the wrecking ball. One of the brick buildings was a carriage house; the other provided offices for a textile mill.The buildings were supposed to be demolished to make way for a C-V-S Pharmacy and shopping center. 21 others already have been razed. In the last two months, "Save the Mill Buildings Now" raised more than 100-thousand dollars and found a space for the buildings as well as a mover. The Keene Housing Authority is financing 50 percent of the move and providing land for the buildings to be used as offices and community space for elderly tenants.

| Pease History Return to index of stories... |
Visitors to Pease International Tradeport will soon have the chance to see examples of how the seacoast landmark has changed since its early days. In an effort to create a visual history of the airport, officials are gathering photographs, artwork and other memorabilia that show what Pease was like during different eras. Over the years, the complex has had many different functions - including a 35-year-run as an Air Force Base. Pease currently serves as home to the Air National Guard, Pan-Am airlines and a business park. |

| Tuberculosis Return to index of stories... |
Some good news when it comes to the heath of New Hampshire. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports New Hampshire has one of the lowest tuberculosis rates in the country. Last year New Hampshire reported 22 cases; in 1999, 19 cases. The nation as a whole has sliced tuberculosis rates in half over the past decade and the respiratory disease stands at an all-time low. Tuberculosis is easily cured but can be fatal if left undiagnosed or untreated. |
