Four gubernatorial hopefuls sounded traditional Republican themes at a G-O-P forum in Newington Thursday night.
Addressing the gathering were former U-S senator Gordon Humphrey, former state senator Bruce Keough, Cabletron's Craig Benson and former state representative David Corbin. Questions were posed by the Seacoast Federation of Republican Women. Humphrey says if elected, he would focus on homeland security, jobs and education. Corbin called for the repeal of the statewide property tax, and greater scrutiny of the states judicial system. Keough promised to veto any proposal for a sales or income tax. And Benson says he'd like to put a cap on state aid to education, which he believes is already too high.

The lawyer for two executives of bankrupt American Tissue Incorporated says they will indeed step down, in response to a motion accusing them of not complying with a prior agreement to do so. American Tissue shut down it's pulp-and-paper-mill complex in Berlin and Gorham. Laid-off workers, and state and local officials, hope the bankruptcy proceedings will let the mills reopen under new owners. But that can't happen unless the money is there, and lenders won't make loans until American Tissue's top management is replaced.

Cheshire County officials say they are exploring their options for where to build a proposed new county jail. Some Westmoreland residents say they're happy to hear it. Westmoreland is the home to the current Cheshire County jail. Built to house about sixty inmates, it currently houses between eighty and one-hundred. At an informational meeting Thursday night, county officials said they are looking at farmland in Westmoreland is a possible location, but they will also look at many other sites throughout the county's twenty-three communities. Residents at that meeting said other communities should share the risk and burden of housing a jail.
