AP-NH-XGR--Boating Speeds Senate committee: thumbs down to boating speed bill bywmanconfl CONCORD, N.H. - A boating speeds bill approved by the New Hampshire House has hit some rough water in the Senate. The Senate Transportation Committee yesterday voted four-to-one to recommend that the full Senate kill the proposal. The bill calls for a 45-mile-per-hour daytime speed limit and a 25-mile-per-hour nighttime limit on New Hampshire's inland waterways. Cornish Senator Peter Burling, a Democrat, cast the lone committee vote in support of the bill. The full Senate is expected to vote on boating speed limits next week. AP-NY-03-10-06 0626EST |

AP-NH--Smoking Ban House postpones vote on smoking ban avbfls CONCORD, N.H. - The New Hampshire House has postponed until next week a vote on a bill to ban smoking in the state's restaurants and lounges. The vote was scheduled yesterday but then pushed back because of a huge House agenda. Supporters say the right to breathe clean air supersedes the right to smoke but opponents say the ban will hurt businesses. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce is behind the ban and a recent poll shows that about 80 percent of state residents support the ban. The House is expected to approve the ban easily but Senate Republican leaders quietly oppose the idea. AP-NY-03-10-06 0512EST |

COURT COMMISSION Group suggests ways to make courts more user-friendly avbfls CONCORD, N.H. - A citizens group says New Hampshire should fully fund existing legal services for the poor and consider civil case lawyers for anyone facing loss of child custody or eviction from their home. Criminals have a constitutional right to lawyers, but people in civil suits do not. According to the state court system, most people involved in divorces and landlord-tenant cases can't afford lawyers. Nearly 100 members of the New Hampshire Citizens Commission on the State Courts met yesterday for preliminary votes on 34 recommendations. Some were approved, a handful rejected and the rest are scheduled for more discussion and amendments Monday. The recommendations include strong support for alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, and "problem-solving courts" for drug and mental health issues. |

AP-NH--Hotel Souter Souter home issue on ballot, but in watered-down form dewavbfnfls Updates with results WEARE, N.H. - As voters around the state choose selectmen and other town officers today, Weare residents today voted on the much publicized plan to take Supreme Court Justice David Souter's property and turn it into a hotel. They came out in his favor. In what's turned out to be a largely symbolic gesture, town voters decided 1,167 to 493 to have the selectmen leave Souter's house alone - and instead urged the New Hampshire Legislature to adopt a law that forbids such property transfers to private interests for economic development via eminent domain. Activists were angered by last year's Supreme Court decision on property rights and wanted to get back at the justice by trying to seize his farmhouse but the effort fizzled at last month's Town Meeting. Two of the major players who supported the attempt to take Souter's property ran for selectmen. Both lost. AP-NY-03-14-06 2216EST AP-NH--Hotel Souter Souter home issue on ballot, but in watered-down form dewfls Updates with mid-day turnout WEARE, N.H. - As voters around the state choose selectmen and other town officers today, Weare residents are voting on the much publicized plan to take Supreme Court Justice David Souter's property and turn it into a hotel. Activists angered by last year's Supreme Court decision on property rights wanted to get back at the justice by trying to seize his farmhouse but. But at a meeting last month, townspeople defeated that plan and directed instead that today's ballot question read that the town leave Souter's property alone. Another question on the ballot today in Weare would urge New Hampshire to adopt a law that forbids the government from private property for private economic development. Two of the major players who supported the attempt to take Souter's property are running for selectmen. The town clerk says she expects about half of the town's 56 hundred voters to turn out. As of lunchtime, about 500 had voted. AP-NY-03-14-06 1349EST |
