| Claremont Coalition Return to index of stories... |
The odds are good that New Hampshire will wind up in court over the tax plan passed by the legislature yesterday. If it becomes law, Attorney Andru Volinsky says it's only a matter of time until the five towns that sued the state ten years ago return to court. Volinksy represented the five towns known as the so-called Claremont Coalition. He says the new plan makes the state property tax permanent, and ignores the towns' demands for a study of school adequacy and a tax break for poor towns. |
| Legislator intro Return to index of stories... |
With yesterday's final votes in the Legislature, 120 new legislators - 6 in the Senate and 114 in the House - finished the first half of their first term. For many, it has not been quite what they expected when they set out to win a seat at the State House and make a difference. Last December, 80 Republican and 36 Democratic rookie representatives gathered in Reps Hall. They were there for Organization Day - to elect a speaker and prepare for the legislative battles ahead. And for the past six months during the debates and hearings, they've learned first hand about the responsibilities and frequent late nights that legislators face. With yesterday's final votes, most breathed a sigh of relief and prepared for their first time off in months. |

A new survey by a consortium of public health agencies in Nashua shows a growing number of homeless people in the area. P This past March 646 people sought permanent shelter. That's 112 more people from the year before. The numbers also show a greater number of people living on the streets. A similar trend is emerging statewide. Nearly 4000 adults experienced homelessnes in the last fiscal year. More than 1200 children were reported homeless. There circumstances may be different, but their needs are all the same. |

| Duffy Lewis Return to index of stories... |
This is the grave site of former Boston Red Sox outfielder, Duffy Lewis. From 1912 to 1916, George Edward Duffy Lewis helped the Red Sox win three World Series titles. In 1915, Duffy was in the on-deck circle when teammate, Babe Ruth hit his first homerun as a Red Sox. It was an exciting time for baseball fans in New England. Duffy passed away on June 17, 1979. He left no family and memories of his contributions to baseball went with him. For 22 years, he rested in this unmarked grave in Londonderry. Hearing the tale from a reader, Union Leader columnist John Clayton wrote about Duffy. The community and the Red Sox organization responded. Money was raised to help turn this into this. John Clayton spoke at the memorial dedication on June 21. Jim and Claire Manseau are caretakers at Holy Cross cemetery. They, in part are responsible for Duffy's new headstone. Michael Blanchette is owner of LeBlanc Brothers monuments. He donated the headstone. |
