GOVERNOR FOR SENATE This week's Governor Jeanne Shaheen made it official. At the statehouse on Wednesday, she made her intentions clear. Shaheen said no matter who winds up being her opponent she will run on her record as governor. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION This week - a hearing on a bill that calls for the end of affirmative action by state agencies and the university system. The university has undertaken a vigorous campaign to attract minority students and faculty - but Representative Micheal Harrington is one of the sponsors of a bill that would ban affirmative action. They were in our studio to argue their points. MILLS Mills - A victory of sorts for the north country in a Delaware courtroom. A judge has given the okay for a potential buyer to provide funds for upkeep of the mills. This news - just as the first wave of unemployment benefits runs out for mill workers.However - benefits will be extended under a federal program.Also this week, signatures presented to city of Berlin supporting a federal prison in that community. IP LANDS DONOR TOWNS A proposed constitutional amendment regarding statewide property tax was presented to the House Ways and Means committee on Tuesday It would allow the donor towns to adjust their portion of the statewide property tax downward to the actual level needed to fund local schools. Currently, all towns pay the same statewide property tax to the state. In the case of the donor towns, their tax revenues are more than the designated cost of education - so the surplus is distributed to other towns that are property-poor. TYCO AND ENTERASYS? |

Here's a look at other stories making news this Friday. |
| Voter Registration Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire voters will not be required to show identification at the polls this year. Friday, Governor Shaheen vetoed a bill that would have required voters to show identification when picking up a ballot or registering to vote. While the bill was aimed at preventing fraud, others claimed it would discourage people from voting. According to the Governor the bill is unnecessary because state laws already provide protection from voter fraud. She also says the bill would cause lengthy delays if enacted. |
| Church Abuse Return to index of stories... |
The struggle to come to terms with the scandal paralyzing the Roman Catholic Church in Massachusetts has many people in New Hampshire thinking. Reports that priests sexually abused children for years, and that church officials knew about it has rocked the faith of many. While New Hampshire church officials say there are no current cases of clerical sexual misconduct here, members of the clergy are beginning to speak out. The Reverend Monsignor Wilfrid Paradis of Manchester says it is a tragic situation, and he regrets that the church didn't learn how to deal with it earlier. On an upcoming Outlook we'll bring you a more in depth perspective of how New Hampshire's religious communites are responding. |

| Reax Tyco/tycom Return to index of stories... |
-- Some the hundreds of workers laid off this week by a Tyco International subsidiary say the layoff terms weren't as rosy as they are being portrayed. Former Tycom workers told Foster's Daily Democrat that when 470 workers got the ax yesterday, their severance pay was based on their recent earnings. They say that hurt some workers who were forced to take a pay cut after an earlier round of layoffs. One worker says his take-home pay dropped from one-thousand dollars a week to about 600 dollars. But a worker with less experience ended up getting more severance pay because her salary hadn't been cut. Tyco spokeswoman Maryanne Kane declined to discuss severance package discrepancies. |
