IN 11:32:12 I'm not sure that this will make a major difference because students probably get their parents to pay the fines anyway, but I'm very frustrated by the fact that we're not saying to the perpetrator of the fraud that you musn't do this. This isn't just a prank. You're breaking the law and your consequences should be even more severe than the consequences for the person who is taken in by your fraud. OUT 11:32:39 |

| education aid Return to index of stories... |
State school aid would be 30 million dollars less in 2004 under a proposed change to New Hampshire's education aid formula. The House Finance Committee held a hearing today on the bill, which passed the Senate last month. It caps education aid based on inflation and modifies the formula. Preliminary estimates are that state aid will rise from 897 million dollars next year to 980 million dollars in 2004. If the bill passes, 950 million dollars would be distributed in 2004 instead. Supporters say it will ensure that school districts are careful about increasing school spending because the state's share of the costs will be capped. But Rochester Senator Caroline McCarley warned it ultimately will mean local property taxpayers will pay more. |

| Dartmouth Follow Return to index of stories... |
BC-NH--Professor Deaths, Bjt,360 URGENT Eds: Will be led By HARRY R. WEBER Associated Press Writer CONCORD, N.H. - The teens accused of killing two Dartmouth College professors plotted to rob homeowners and kill any witnesses to raise money to flee to Australia, prosecutors say. Robert Tulloch, 18, and James Parker, 17, both of Chelsea, Vt., planned to threaten the residents with violence to get their ATM cards and PIN numbers and "eliminate all witnesses to their crimes," prosecutors said in court papers Monday. "Every robbery-murder attempt was in furtherance of a common goal and single objective: to raise $10,000 to fund their joint travel and relocation to Australia, without getting caught," the court papers say. The court papers were filed as part of the prosecution's attempts to consolidate the three sets of murder indictments against Tulloch. The new information comes from Parker, who has pleaded guilty to reduced charges and agreed to testify against Tulloch in the Jan. 27, 2001, stabbing deaths of Half and Susanne Zantop in their Hanover home, the court papers say. The court papers also say Tulloch and Parker discussed their plan almost daily and researched on the Internet the most efficient way to carry out the plan. Last month, prosecutors said the married Dartmouth professors butchered in their home a year ago were the fifth random targets of their teen-age killers. In the six months before the murders, Tulloch and Parker went to four other homes planning to talk their way in, get the residents' ATM cards and PINs and murder them, last month's indictment said. They succeeded on Jan. 27 by telling the Zantops they were students conducting an environmental survey. Their four previous attempts failed because no one was home or the people who came to the door would not let them in, the indictment says. Tulloch, 18, is charged with first-degree murder, which carries an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole. He has indicated he will use an insanity defense at his trial, which is scheduled to start in April. AP-NY-03-04-02 1815EST |
