Six gambling bills are heading to the floor of the state legislature to face debate. but none come with a committee recommendation for passage.
The House Ways and Means committee voted Thursday not to recommend the last two bills under consideration. One would permit video slot machines at the states four racetracks. The other would allow for a casino to be built in Berlin as a way to ease economic strain on that region.
script iconIn Gambling Discuss
Return to index of stories...
We'd like to help put the gambling debate in perspective.
Last October, the New Hampshire Travel Council hosted a round table discussion on expanded gambling in New Hampshire. The event was held at the Mount Washington Hotel where panelists from within and outside the state debated issues ranging from state sponsored casinos to slot machines at race tracks. We now bring you part of that discussion.

script iconCourt Security
Return to index of stories...
Without more money for security - district courthouses will shut down March First. That's the word from the administrator of New Hampshire's district courts.
Last year the legislature cut about one-point-eight million dollars from the courts' two-year security budget. Judge Edwin Kelly says the courts are almost out of money for security.
Lawmakers are considering a bill to transfer 300 thousand dollars from the state's capital budget to the court system.

Wolfeboro opening household hazwaste site
-- New Hampshire's third collection site for
household hazardous waste could open as early as spring in
Wolfeboro.
The Lakes Region Planning Commission has been working with
numerous towns since 1986 to hold one-day collections of cleaning
agents, oil-based paint and other household chemicals that can
become dangerous if mixed or discarded improperly. Now, barring a
hitch with funding, the new regional collection point will be open
at least six days a year.
The Wolfeboro site will join existing sites in Keene and Nashua.
