| Aerials NH Flood Return to index of stories... |
We begin with the relentless rain and the destruction its caused in Western New Hampshire. Lives have been lost, homes washed away, roads and bridges destroyed and the rains continue. We've all watched in disbelief. On Thursday, Governor Lynch and the director of the NH Division of Emergency Services updated lawmakers on the weekend flooding that covered Keene and at least 10 surrounding communities. Both indicated response from emergency responders around the state has been outstanding.-- and that while much progress has been made on recovery efforts there's still much to do. 46-thousand sandbags have been brought in as searchers with dogs and boats look for 4 missing people believed to have been swept away in rushing waters. With more rain forecasted Emergency officials say it could be a close call. But, as of Friday, if the forecast holds -- they don't expect more flooding this weekend. Joining us by Phone for an Update: Donna Moxley from the Keene Sentinel. Q DONNA: Paint us a word picture of what's going on today? Q You see pictures of the destruction-- but, its sometimes difficult to get a sense of how WIDESPREAD the damage is. Can you give us a sense of how large an area in that part of the state has been impacted by the flooding. Q What's the status on bridges and main roads.are they back in service???? Images of destruction are unbelieavable. Q TOM/JAMES: Governor Lynch says he doesn't want to wait for FEMA money. He's meeting with Lawmakers MONDAY on the issue of FUNDRAISING. ** There's been talk of using RAINY day Funds and SURPLUS dollars. Q TOM: FEMA expected to grant state's request for money??? Any sense of when Q DONNA: Contaminated water. How big a problem is that? Q TOM: I understand state offering FREE well test kits for those worried about WATER. BETH: NO hard numbers on how many people impacted. As for homes Lost in the flooding: Emergency Mgmt Officials tell us 44 homes have been destroyed. 58 have major damage. More than 700 with minor damage, And, basement flooding in 179 homes. Q EDITH: Your thoughts on seeing this. Q DONNA: Insurance -- a major issue for those who were impacted. Even some banks lost documents in the flooding. We'll be delving into that issue NEXT week on Outlook. |
| Media Coverage 1 Return to index of stories... |
When Disaster Strikes -- the Media responds. As expected, local even National media descended on the flood ravaged part of the state for coverage. Q DONNA: Some early criticism on Media WEB pages not being updated. Certainly speaks to the pressure on news outlets to STAFF not only their paper or broadcasts -- but, their WEB pages. Q EDITH: People go on-line to get INSTANT information. Especially when disaster strikes.want up to date information? Q TOM: Union Leader quick to respond to the disaster. Q DONNA: What about the PERCEPTIONS the media have given viewers and readers. Some Businesses in KEENE.have complained that they are OPEN for business but the public isn't coming -- sensing the entire area is OUT of commission rather than a small contained area. |
| Flood Response Return to index of stories... |
How a politican handles a disaster can make or break a candidate. When the floods came -- Governor Lynch was out of the country on a trade mission --but, within hours. was back on home turf to shepard relief efforts. Q TOM/JAMES: Disasters like this certainly tests a politician's leadership. How has Governor Lynch been doing? Q EDITH: Your sense on the Governor's response. Q DONNA: I did hear EARLY reports of people in the flood ravaged areas complaining about not being told about what to do. Contaminated water and other issues. What's been the response to STATE efforts in the aftermath of the flooding? Q TOM/JAMES: IN the early hours after the flooding, Acting Governor Ted Gatsas was the "go-to" man -- But, within short order.Governor Lynch was at the helm. He's been a FIXTURE on the scene ever since. governors doing. Q National Guard called in -- still on the scene. Governor Lynch said.did not want any New Orleans like problems in response EFFORTS. DONNA MOXLEY: A busy day ahead of you as the Keene Sentinel continues their coverage. Don't want to keep you any longer. Thank you for joining us. |

Disaster Response will no doubt be a MAJOR issue in the 2008 campaign. NY Governor George Pataki certainly well-versed on that front. He'll be in NH next week. He's eying a run in 2008 -- as is Kansas Senator Sam Brownback who was in NH this week. Q JAMES: What was Sen Brownback's message? Abortion opponent. Spoke out against Harriet Miers nomination to SCOTUS. Q Brownback was UNWAVERING in support of Our "first-in-the nation" PRIMARY. " talk to real people" worried about GOP holding whitehouse. Q JAMES: This week we heard talk of a WESTERN REGIONAL Presidential Primary. Q Not lobbying to be FIRST -- rather would be held --soon after the NH primary. Q TOM: Governor Pataki will be here next week. Fresh off a stop in IOWA. . He's barely a blip in most national polls. Much BUZZ about his upcoming trip?? Q JAMES: ** former NYC Mayor Rudy Guiliani -- says he's contemplating a run. He fares much better on polls than Pataki. Season young. Guiliani and Arizona Senator John Mcain -- Republican Front Runners. Q McCain ran in 2000 --defeated George W- Bush in NH primary -- lost contest for GOP nomination. ASKED about accepting a vice presidency. McCain joked that he wouldn't accept that --it would be too much like the years he spent in prison camp in N Vietnam. where he was kept int he dark and fed only scraps-- why would he want to do that again?? Will wait til next year to decide. Q New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton leads potential Democratic presidential contenders in national polls. Still.Senator Ted Kennedy this week says he'd back John Kerry in 2008 if he runs --even if Hillary should jump in the race. |
| Abortion Law Return to index of stories... |
The Supreme court battle over the state's parental notification law -- is on the front burner. This week NH lawmakers signed a brief OPPOSING the law -- which goes before the high court next month. Q TOM: WHO stepped up to make their opposition known?? 149 Q Is House Speaker Doug Scammon among them -- as was originally thought. Or, is his name MISSING from the document??? Q JAMES: This issue a political hot potato?? Q Governor Lynch signed a SEPERATE brief -- opposing the law. Q Atty General Kelly Ayotte wants the HIGH court's approval for parental notification for minors seeking abortions.

| Gambling Return to index of stories... |
Talk of Gambling surfacing again at the statehouse ===after the MA Senate approved a bill allowing slot machines at the state's race tracks. Q TOM/JAMES: Interestingly enuf.Ted Gatsas, a proponent of gambling, says we don't need it. We have an 82-million dollar surplus in the state. Will the MASS Gambling vote impact NH's course on expanded gambling?? Q Gatsas has been a champion of legislation that legalizes slots but only if the state, and not the racetracks, operated the program. Governor doesn't support. Q Study group has til Nov 1 to make up mind on this issue. ** Slot machine gambling legislation already faced a steep hurdle as the Senate rejected it by a 3-1 margin last spring. |
| E-ZPASS Return to index of stories... |
E-Z Pass is proving to be a hit with motorists. -- It's almost as popular as CASH at tollbooths. But, Bargain prices for the electronic transponders have taken a toll on state coffers. The EZ-Pass program was the topic before 2 legislative panels this week. Q TOM: How much did those bargain basement prices COST the state. Is turnpike Fund.out of Money??? Is that the fund.that might be tapped for some infrastructure costs from all the FLOODING??? Q EDITH: A lot of motorists are finding the EZ pass system Easy to use. Numbers of those USING E-Z Pass. way Up. Q Pulling out exact COIN and token buckets inJanuary. Have to pay ATTENDANTS come January. Cmsr Murray says its actually QUICKER to pay an attendnat than toss coins in a basket?? Q TOM: How much did the state spend on TRANSPONDERS.and what did they make on sales to motorists??? Costs state 24-dollars. Expect a RUN on transponders in JAN.when you can no longer use TOKENS. |

| Pres stuff Return to index of stories... |
BOSTON - Sen. Edward Kennedy said Wednesday he would back fellow Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 — even if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton also pursues a White House bid. ADVERTISEMENT "If he runs, I would support him," Kennedy told The Associated Press in an interview at his Boston office. While Kennedy has frequently entertained the New York senator and her husband, former President Clinton, he said his loyalty is to Kerry. Early polling shows Clinton and Kerry among the favorites for their party's nomination in 2008, but neither has said for sure whether they'll run. Kennedy called Kerry, the 2004 nominee, an "able, gifted and talented political leader." He criticized President Bush's leadership and said of the American people: "Every day, I think they regret that John wasn't elected." "We haven't had accountability and we haven't had real leadership in dealing with these issues and problems," he said, "and that's what I hear more than anything else." The White House had no immediate comment. There was friction between Kennedy and Kerry in 2000, when Kennedy appeared to favor then-Sen. John Edwards as Al Gore's running mate, even though Kerry was also under consideration. Yet Kennedy campaigned vigorously for Kerry last year, especially before the candidate staged a come-from-behind victory in the Iowa caucuses. MANCHESTER, N.H. - Another potential presidential candidate is in New Hampshire today. Kansas Republican Senator Sam Brownback speaks at Saint Anselm College in Manchester. MANCHESTER, N.H. - A potential 2008 presidential candidate from Kansas, Republican Senator Sam Brownback, is in New Hampshire today. The outspoken abortion opponent was in the state in April. Tonight he speaks at Saint Anselm College in Manchester. BROWNBACK Brownback visiting New Hampshire again avbfls MANCHESTER, N.H. - Kansas Republican Senator Sam Brownback, a potential 2008 presidential candidate, is visiting New Hampshire again. The outspoken abortion opponent was in the state in April. Tonight he speaks at Saint Anselm College in Manchester. Brownback said last week he remains skeptical about the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. He emerged this week as one of many conservative skeptics who expressed disappointment that President Bush did not select a nominee with a clear track record on issues like abortion, property rights and religious expression. GOFFSTOWN, Oct. 11 - U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback told a group of students and activists that Republicans would have a tough time winning the presidency in 2008 because the electorate typically looks for "a new style" of leadership from the other party following a two-term president. "The challenge for Republicans is to make sure that we produce fruit and hope," he said. Brownback made his second trip to New Hampshire this year for just one event, a town hall forum at the Saint Anselm College New Hampshire Institute of Politics. Immediately noticeable on this dreary early Fall night was that Steve Forbes, who is not running for president, drew an audience twice the size that Brownback, someone who is very much considering a run, in the same room a week earlier. Forbes did have the organizational help of a local grassroots network, and from the audience, it was obvious that Brownback didn't have the same help. But it was here that Brownback sought to introduce himself and lay out his principles for political leadership. Biblical in their tone and language, his three "guideposts" were: making sure that righteousness and justice follow the same line, to bare good fruit, and create ideas that are usable. He said that so far his has been dismayed with the "fruit" his Republican controlled Congress has been making. He is upset with Congress's inability to have a balanced budget, confront problems in Africa or even address poverty levels domestically. "We must bear good fruit, sweet fruit, that tastes good," said Brownback. "We control Congress and we will be judged by our fruit and if we don't address some big issues we will be judged harshly." These comments foreshadowed his answer to a question later that night about the ability of Republicans to keep the White House after eight years of Republican rule. History shows that Brownback could be right in his assessment. Since 1952 the incumbent party has only kept the White House once in four tries. This is something to thinking about as he "very seriously" ponders a presidential bid, told the audience there is no wavering on New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation status. "This is a good process," he said. "And it really is a beautiful thing that those seeking to be president of this country, of the most powerful country in the world, have to come up here in whatever weather and talk to real people." He was also asked several questions about his feelings on President Bush's Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, a choice he has openly questioned in the past week. He was consistent and went a little further saying he wanted a nominee with a clear record on abortion. "It is time to have this discussion," said Brownback.

| McCain Return to index of stories... |
eport: Sen. John McCain considers '08 presidential run kwap NEW YORK - Arizona Senator John McCain says he is seriously considering running for president in 2008. McCain ran for president in 2000 and defeated George W- Bush in the New Hampshire primary, but ultimately lost the contest for the Republican nomination. In an appearance Sunday in New York city, McCain joked that he wouldn't accept the vice presidency. He said it would be too much like the years he spent in a prison camp in North Vietnam, where he was kept in the dark and fed only scraps -- why would he want to do that again? McCain was re-elected to the Senate last year. He says he will wait until after next year's election to decide for sure on a presidential run. |

AP-NH--Western Primary Western states pushing for a regional primary dewap SANTA FE, N.M. The governors of New Mexico and Utah are trying to recruit other Rocky Mountain and Western states to hold Presidential primaries early in the 2008 Presidential campaign. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, a Democrat, joined with Utah Republican Jon Huntsman in calling for a Western regional presidential primary or caucuses on the first Tuesday in February 2008, soon after the New Hampshire primary. They say if enough Western states hold early contests, the region will have more clout in picking presidential nominees. AP-NY-10-13-05 0549EDT |
| abortion appeal Return to index of stories... |
CONCORD, N.H. - New Hampshire lawmakers announced today that 149 senators and state representatives are supporting a legal brief opposing the state's parental notification law. That law is going before the U.S. Supreme Court next month. It requires a parent or guardian to be told 48 hours in advance of abortions to be performed on females under 18. Opponents argue the law lacks exceptions in cases where the mother's health is in danger. A lower court ruled the law unconstitutional and the state appealed. In June of 2003, then-Governor Craig Benson signed the legislation into law. It was approved by the House 187-to-181 and the Senate 12-to-eleven and was first abortion restriction law to pass the New Hampshire Legislature since the 1973 Roe versus Wade decision that legalized abortion. AP-NY-10-11-05 1049EDT Lynch joins call against parental notification By TOM FAHEY State House Bureau Chief CONCORD — Gov. John Lynch has joined several groups that filed U.S. Supreme Court briefs urging it to uphold lower federal court rulings that found the state parental notification law on abortions is unconstitutional. Lynch said parental notification, signed into law by former Gov. Craig Benson, creates a risk to the health of New Hampshire women. Lynch said that although he believes parents should be involved in all their children's health decisions, "we must recognize that there are cases where that is not possible, and we should not risk the health and safety of young women in those cases." The law requires a doctor or clinic to notify a minor's parents 48 hours before performing an abortion. A girl can ask permission from a judge if she wants to bypass her parents. Otherwise, the law says a doctor may perform an abortion only if it is "necessary to prevent the minor's death and there is insufficient time to provide the required notice" to a parent or a court. Attorney General Kelly Ayotte appealed the lower court findings against the state, and the Bush administration has joined her legal efforts. Lynch opposes the appeal. Ayotte says because the law allows a court to intervene and other state law allows doctors to act in an emergency, a woman's health can be protected. She also argues that the chance of harm occurring should not be enough to invalidate the entire law. Lynch's brief, written by his legal counsel, Kate Hanna, argues that the laws Ayotte cites limit doctors to acting only if they are in a "pre-hospital setting" or are already treating a medical emergency. Planned Parenthood legal counsel Dara Klassel said yesterday that the Ayotte appeal seeks to upend precedent in which the court has overturned laws that threaten a woman's health even if no actual harm to an individual has been shown. Lynch's brief was filed in support of a legal challenge by Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, Feminist Health Centers of Concord and Portsmouth, and Dr. Wayne Goldner. Other organizations filing friend of the court briefs were the American Medical Association, the New Hampshire Medical Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, NARAL Pro-Choice America and a group of 152 state legislators. Briefs were due yesterday. Oral arguments are scheduled for Nov. 30. === Abortion law under fire By Elizabeth Dinan edinan@seacoastonline.com Laura Pantelakos said she does "not believe in abortions." But the Portsmouth resident and Democratic state representative also "does not believe the state has the right to stick their nose in other people’s business." For that reason, Pantelakos was one of 152 New Hampshire legislators to sign a "friends of the court" brief, filed with the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday in opposition to a law requiring parental notification for minors seeking abortions. The friends brief opposes the state attorney general’s argument that parents should be notified 48 hours before their under-18 daughters receive abortions. Both sides will be heard during oral arguments before the Supreme Court Nov. 30. Meanwhile, the Feminist Health Center of Portsmouth, a Greenland abortion provider, continues to be named as a plaintiff in the national debate, alongside Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, the Concord Feminist Health Center and Concord gynecologist Wayne Goldner. The parties are challenging Attorney General Kelly Ayotte’s appeal to the Supreme Court seeking the court’s approval for parental notification for minors seeking abortions. Pantelakos said she also opposes the law because "not all young people can tell their parents" when they’re in trouble. The mother of eight, grandmother of 17 and great-grandmother of 2 said, "not everyone is fit to be a mother." "I would never do it," she said of abortion. "But it’s legal and sometimes it should be done." |

Meanwhile, the number of people using the electronic E-ZPass has dramatically increased to the point where four out of every 10 cars sails through the tolls using the system, according to state figures given to legislators Wednesday. Slightly more drivers, 43 percent to be exact, are using cash at tollbooths. The bargain sale of E-ZPass transponders during the summer led to a drain of $4.4 million from the state’s turnpike account, Transportation Commissioner Carol Murray told two legislative panels Wednesday. "very" Popular It's now said to be as popular as As highway tokens disappear on New Hampshire's turnpikes, more drivers are using the new E-ZPass system. In less than four months, the electronic system has become nearly as popular as cash at tollbooths. Transportation Commissioner Carol Murray told legislators yesterday that since E-ZPass went into effect in June, the number of people using tokens has dropped from 50 percent to about 15 percent last weekend. The number of drivers using E-ZPass has increased to about 40 percent, slightly less than the percentage of drivers using cash. New Hampshire's transportation commissioner says when highway tokens go, the exact change baskets also should be pulled out of the state's tollbooths. Carol Murray says with the E-ZPass system now running, she wants to pull out the change baskets beginning January First. CONCORD – In less than four months, E-ZPass has become nearly as popular as cash at state tollbooths. Since the E-ZPass system was accepted at tollbooths in late June, the number of people using discount tokens has steadily decreased, from half of all drivers to 15 percent as of this past weekend. Meanwhile, the number of people using the electronic E-ZPass has dramatically increased to the point where four out of every 10 cars sails through the tolls using the system, according to state figures given to legislators Wednesday. Slightly more drivers, 43 percent to be exact, are using cash at tollbooths. The popularity of the electronic toll system has come at a price. The bargain sale of E-ZPass transponders during the summer led to a drain of $4.4 million from the state’s turnpike account, Transportation Commissioner Carol Murray told two legislative panels Wednesday. The shortfall prompted legislative leaders to demand a cash flow statement to determine whether the turnpike fund is out of money, forcing the agency to take from other highway accounts to make up the shortfall.“Cash flow statement gives you a snapshot of where we are at,’’ said Senate President Ted Gatsas, R-Manchester, who spearheaded the call for a task force to study the effectiveness of E-ZPass. “That tells us if you are operating with someone else’s money or your own.’’ The state also plans to get rid of the now-familiar coin baskets placed at each tollbooth lane after Jan. 1, according to Murray. The baskets will no longer be needed once the state discontinues accepting discount coin tokens, Murray said. Those who don’t have E-ZPass will have to pay toll attendants, she added. “Actually, it’s quicker for people to pay an attendant than toss their coin into the basket,’’ Murray claimed. Department of Transportation officials briefed the House-Senate Capital Budget Overview Committee and members of the new task force. E-ZPass allows motorists who buy a transponder to pass through the tollbooths slowly without stopping. Through Oct. 5, the state has spent $6.3 million to buy transponders and only made $1.9 million on their sales to motorists. “I don’t think the number is any surprise. We thought it would be $4 million-to-$5 million,’’ said Salem Republican Sen. Chuck Morse. The state still has on hand an inventory of 52,000 transponders. Gov. John Lynch and the Executive Council approved selling the transponders for only $5 as a way to encourage people to join E-ZPass, which offers passenger car and truck owners a 30 percent discount. Coin tokens gave a 50 percent discount. The state’s cost of buying the transponders has been $24 each, plus shipping. In June, the Legislature directed that consumers should pay what it costs the state to buy the transponders. The cost was increased to $24 on Aug. 3. Due to a drafting mistake, lawmakers did not permit the state to collect shipping costs from E-ZPass customers. The total cost was pegged at $300,000. Murray said lawmakers who want to recoup shipping charges in the future will need to pass a law when they return in January. Later this fall, the state will order more transponders in anticipation of a run on them once motorists can no longer use tokens. “With tokens disappearing as of January 1, I envision a lot of accounts coming on board at that time,’’ said Albert Almasy, the Department of Transportation’s project manager of E-ZPass. Murray also revealed the state’s cost of administering accounts is less than the $5 monthly cost that had been earlier forecasted. The vendor’s charge to the state for the first 40,000 accounts is $2.25 per month. The next 60,000 accounts cost the state 99 cents monthly apiece and all accounts after that total cost 80 cents, she added. Morse said that’s good news as there are thousands of motorists who bought the cheap E-ZPass transponder but have never used it. The two panels next plan to meet Nov. 15. The customer service telephone number for the E-ZPass vendor, ACS, is 1-877-643-9727, while the Web site is www.ezpassnh.com. The public can also check for contact information on the DOT Web site: www.nh.gov/dot. Rolling through The numbers of people using E-ZPass has grown while and the declining use of coin tokens that carried a 50 percent discount. The 50 percent discount for those who bought tokens was the highest in the country. The Legislature passed a law ending the sale of tokens on Sept. 1. Tokens will no longer be accepted at turnpike tollbooths after Jan. 1. The state opened the first E-ZPass lanes June 26 at the mainline toll stations and at three exit ramps in Merrimack. These figures don’t include those truckers who pay their toll by a charge account set up with the state. At all points, this made up less than 3 percent of all traffic.

Director's Log: It was a crazy show. First, we had a phoner to add to the show. We had many tapes to cut as well as many stills to put to tape. So, that kept us busy up until the show began. But once we got down to the control room other problems were brewing. First, the one of the IFB inputs into the box was not working, so Carl and Todd were working on fixing it. In the meantime, the 16 x 9 monitor that is on the set between Beth and the guest was not working. So, Russ came in and fixed the problem seconds before calling it quits by me. He changed a bad cable and that seemed to do the trick. So in the meantime, we decided to use a cell phone as a IFB instead. Carl seemed to figure out how to have the cell phone IFB, the woman on the phone and Concord's normal IFB all hearing and talking at the same time. He was great. There was only one mess up and that was tapes but it wasn't serious it was just a little hectic. So we didn't finish the show until 4:00 but it all came together and looked good. Todd is supposedly bringing back the IFBs and the box to see what is wrong with it. Another day on the Outlook show. |
