Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair, host of New Hampshire Outlook.
For the next hour, candidates in the race for Governor will focus their attention on the New Hampshire economy.
Our thanks to President Ann Weaver Hart of the University of New Hampshire, and
Steve Bolander, Dean of the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and the people at the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire for making tonight's forum possible.
Joining us tonight are:
Craig Benson-a Republican from Rye.
State Senator Mark Fernald-a Democrat from Sharon.
and John Babiarz-a Libertarian from Grafton.
The panelists were chosen from UNH Faculty, students and the New Hampshire Business Community.
They are:
Terry Conner, Senior VP & Chief Information Officer, Liberty Mutual.
Chris Webb, Whittemore School of Business and Economics MBA Student
Karen Conway, UNH Professor of Economics
and Ross Gittell, UNH Professor of Management
The format is designed to encourage discussion. Each block of time will run approximately six minutes.
The candidates have all been briefed on the guidelines. Each panelist will ask a question of all the candidates. Each will have about 45-seconds to respond. The panelist may ask a follow-up of any or all of the candidates.
Audience members have also submitted questions and I'll be reading those at various points throughout the program.
And to our audience, we ask that you please remain seated throughout the presentation and refrain from applause or other comments during the program.
A draw determined that would answer the first question.
