| Border Dispute Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire's border dispute with Maine isn't over yet. Last month, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Maine, ruling that the border had been settled in an earlier court case. Today, New Hampshire attorney general Philip McLaughlin filed a request for reconsideration. McLaughlin says the new challenge will try one more time to win a full trial where New Hampshire would have the time to lay out its case. |
| State Budget Return to index of stories... |
A crucial vote is set for tomorrow on whether to raise two business taxes to help balance the state budget. Observers expect a very close vote. If the package is defeated, the state has little time to come up with a new tax plan before the fiscal year ends at midnight Saturday. Without authority to spend, state government could shut down. Another option would be a resolution to allow the state to continue operating on the current budget until a new one is in place. |
| Millk Prices Return to index of stories... |
If you drink milk, you've also swallowed some price increases over the last few years. Today, all six New England states announced an antitrust settlement with Texas-based Suiza Foods, the nation's largest dairy processor. Over the past few years, Suiza has bought up much of its competition in New England. The AGs focused on a deal in which the Stop & Shop supermarket chain sold its milk processing operation to Suiza, and in turn agreed to sell only Suiza milk products. The settlement ensures that Stop and Shop will sell milk products from any processor. It also includes an unusual clause that is designed to drive milk prices back down through increased competition. |

| Gypsy Moths Return to index of stories... |
You may have thought that gypsy moths have come and gone from New Hampshire. Well take a look at this. This video was taken in a backyard in Somersworth. The homeowner's trees were covered with these caterpillars. We asked Nancy Adams to take a look. And she said - yes those look like gypsy moth caterpillars. The UNH Cooperative extensions says today's gypsy moth numbers are low compared to the outbreaks in the 80's and early 90's. But if the gypsy moth caterpillar is in your back yard - you might feel differently. They can take a toll on tree foliage. And this homeowner has treated the ornamental trees planted near his home to protect them. |

| Shaker Village Return to index of stories... |
The Canterbury Shaker Village says a proposed cell phone tower would intrude on the historic village landscape. Village officials are taking the neighboring town of Loudon to court to try to prevent construction of a proposed 150-foot tower arguing it would intrude on the landscape. Loudon Selectman Roy Maxfield says it's preposterous to think everything that can be seen from the village is detrimental to the property. This isn't the first time The Canterbury shaker Village and the town of Loudon have been before a judge. Recently Noise issues over expansion at New Hampshire International Speedway brought the two groups into court. |
| Nurse Shortage Return to index of stories... |
Grafton County has an acute shortage of nursing assistants. One county nursing home had to close one of its wings because of a lack of staff. The New Hampshire Health Care Association says relatively low pay and high stress have caused a 32 percent annual turnover rate for certified nursing assistants statewide. The state Department of Health and Human Services has formed a task force focused on helping nursing home managers make their facilities the kinds of places where people want to work. |

Despite signs of a national economic slowdown, the home-construction industry has been having a good year in southern New Hampshire. In Manchester, builders of the Wellington Ridge subdivision report better-than-expected new home sales over the past year. It was expected that it would take two year to sell all sixty-four lots there. After being on the market for less than one year, only 12 lots remain. Construction companies in other parts of the state report a similar trend in sales. The Associated Builders of New Hampshire and Vermont predict another year of good business. |
