script iconHello
Return to index of stories... 		Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to this Friday Edition of New Hampshire Outlook.
script iconRoundtable
Return to index of stories... 		The House passes a budget, the University faces a double dissapointment, another Governor Benson nominee is kept waiting in the wings, and not all republicans are on the President's side of cutting taxes.
We'll discuss these topics and more.
Joining us this week from the state house in Concord, Tom Fahey of the Union Leader and Norma Love of the Associated Press. And here in studio Jeff Feingold of the New Hampshire Business Review and Dan Tuohy of the Eagle Tribune. Thank you all for joining us this week.
script iconBudget
Return to index of stories... 		If you're old and poor in New Hampshire, the next time you need to go to the doctor or the hospital, you may just have to find your own way to get there. Thursday, the New Hampshire house passed a budget plan that doesn't include any tax money to help pay for rides in wheelchair vans or ambulances. The two-point-seven billion dollar - two year budget - known as "budget a" or the "bare-bones budget" passed in the house. The so-called "Budget b" was an amendment, which included a 39 cent cigarette tax and additional money for services was voted down. However, the amendment known as budget c which adds in funds for state retiree's health insurance and medicaid dollars to nursing homes did get the go-ahead from the house.
Norma, this budget plan also cuts programs like speech therapy and physical therapy.
script iconUNH Riot
Return to index of stories... 		It's been a double disappointment for the University of New Hampshire. First, the men's hockey team makes it to the frozen four and the championship game but loses to Minnesota - 5 to 1. But what's getting the lions share of attention is what happened back here at home, after the game. UNH students rioted in downtown Durham. Beer bottles, rocks, and cans were thrown at police - pepper spray was used to control the crowd. And Friday, the University announced the suspension of two students who face charges of arson and assaulting a police officer.
script iconDES Nomination
Return to index of stories... 		Governor Benson's nominee to head up the Department of Environmental Services is still just that - a nominee. Wednesday, The Executive Council was due to vote on the nomination of Michael Nolin - but no vote was taken. Two of the councilors have said they hadn't made up their minds about Nolin, while councilor Ruth Griffin of Portsmouth has said she'll vote no on the nomination. Gee Jeff, it hasn't been as easy as some might have thought it would be for Benson when it comes to the Executive Council okaying his nominees.
script iconBush Tax Cut
Return to index of stories... 		Even though Governor Benson joined the New Hampshire congressional delegation at the statehouse this week in support of the President's tax cuts - not all well-known republicans were publically endorsing Bush's plan. Former US Republican Senator Warren Rudman and the Concord Coalition expressed concerns over the President's plan in a letter published in the New York Times. To quote from the letter - " It is neither fiscally nor morally responsible to give ourselves tax cuts and leave future generations with an even higher tax burden." Well timed publication of that letter, eh Jeff?
script iconFirst in the Nation
Return to index of stories... 		Michigan's attempt to steal New Hampshire's first in the nation priamary status has failed. That's due in large part to the AFL-CIO backing out of the effort. Some say part of the credit goes to the defeat of the right-to-work bill here in New Hampshire. Tom Fahey explain.
