By Laura Knoy on Friday, October 3, 2003.

We'll take a closer look at what this proposal will mean for legislators and what chance it has of passing the House and Senate later this year. Laura's guests are Representative Ken Weyler from Kingston, Vice-Chair of the House Finance Committee and Representative Terie Norelli from Portsmouth.
