Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Welcome to NH Outlook. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Those lines usually describe tokens of a successful wedding - but they could also apply to the range of bills up for debate this week. We begin with old and blue - and Senator Deb Reynolds on the bill to abolish the Sunday "blue laws" prohibiting "certain activities": SOT: "The so-called blue laws were codified under our current system in 1860, and prohibit any work or labor of a secular calling to the disturbance of others on the first day of the week, commonly called "The Lord's Day" - except works of necessity and mercy and the making of necessary repairs upon mills, and factories which could not be made otherwise, without loss to operatives; and no person shall engage in any play, game or sport on that day. The committee heard testimony that not only are these laws outdated, they are not enforced." Joining me at the State Library in Concord are: Kevin Landrigan of the Nashua Telegraph, Josh Rogers of New Hampshire Public Radio, and Jeff Feingold of the New Hampshire Business Review. Welcome all. |

OnCam:Richard AND JOINING ME ARE 1: The bill passed, but another sections of the blue laws was left standing. 2: A bill to abolish the crime of adultery was voted down, leaving this law standing: 645:3 Adultery. - A person is guilty of a class B misdemeanor if, being a married person, he engages in sexual intercourse with another not his spouse or, being unmarried, engages in sexual intercourse with another known by him to be married. 3: One of the bills scheduled for a vote was postponed to next week. It would require health insurance providers to pay for services and treatment for individuals with autism. 4: Gambling - is it dead yet? This will connect to our next topic: 5: Budget update - the finance committee continues to hold its hearings. 6: More protection for the Primary - more power to Bill Gardner as Senate passes bill without debate. If we get to these, we can touch on them: 7: Local Govt. Center may have to return between $70-100 million to cities and towns after legislative action. 8: Businesses lobby for more business friendly climate - past repeal of the LLC tax. 9: Troubles at the Liquor Commission. Confirmation of Earl "Mr. Fixit" Sweeney - is he competing with Bill Bartlett for most temporary posts? |
