| Hello Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Richard Ager, Beth Carroll is off. Welcome to this Friday Edition of New Hampshire Outlook in a new location for this week. The state budget fight is almost over - but will everyone go along with the plan? And what other laws got passed but never noticed? Plus - New Hamsphire rallies to honor its troops. Joining us this week from Concord, we have Tom Fahey of the Union Leader, and Colin Manning of Foster's Daily Democrat. And in studio in Durham - James Pindell of PoliticsNH.com and Mike Pomp, news director at WTSN. Welcome all. |
| Budget Return to index of stories... |
This week, the House and Senate reached agreement on the state budget and will vote on it next Wednesday. The agreement came after long days of negotiation. |
| Lynch reaction Return to index of stories... |
Governor Lynch praised the budget for boosting health insurance for children and home and community-based care for seniors. But he criticized legislators for other decisions. In a statement, Lynch said: "The legislature failed the people of New Hampshire - and failed to live up to its responsibility to open government - by using the trailer bill to make major policy changes, changes they couldn't get, or were unwilling to be on the record voting for, as stand-alone legislation." |
| Eaton statement Return to index of stories... |
On Thursday, the State Republican Committee - not the Legislature - released this statement from Sen. Eaton: "25,446 E-ZPass transponders have been sold at a loss to New Hampshire of $572,535. These significant losses - which will continue to mount in the coming weeks - represent tax dollars that should be kept in the state's coffers to fund important services. By July 16 - when the five dollar sale price ends - the cost could be in the millions." |
| Other bills Return to index of stories... |
This year, nearly a thousand bills were introduced by the House and Senate. Most of the attention usually goes to a select few that involve the budget or hot-button issues. But we're going to give a moment in the sun to a few that you may not have heard much about. One example - a study bill the governor signed this week. So Governor Lynch signed Senate Bill 215, an act to establish a committee to study alternatives fro the disposal of construction and demolition debris. It accompanies another bill establishing a moratorium on burning construction debris in local incinerators. |
| Troops Rally Return to index of stories... |
For the second year in a row, a Support the Troops rally was held in Concord. With a giant American flag decorating the front of the State House, the rally attracted service members and those who came to express their support. Since 201, 60% of NH's reserve force - 4700 National Guardsmen and reservists have served in Afghanistan, Iraq and other locations around the world. This year, 800 returned home but many still serve on active duty. |
