House lawmakers are scheduled to vote tomorrow on a measure that would modify New Hampshire’s frivolous lawsuit statute. Under the bill, people who sue over state construction projects could be forced to pay up to ten percent of a projects’ total cost if the courts find the suit “frivolous.” Proponents say the measure will protect taxpayers from so-called sabotage lawsuits. But Critics say the bill’s will to intimidate citizens from raising legitimate objections to poorly planned state projects.

Jonathan Glatzer and Bob Lawson are co-writers of Safety Glass, a play set in Concord just before the Challenger space shuttle disaster. It?s a story about the nature of heroism and our need for heroes. Safety Glass was originally performed at Andy's Summer Playhouse in Wilton and Bob and Jonathan later turned it into a screenplay. After some near-misses in Hollywood (at one point a studio was looking at making the movie in Latvia), Bob and Jonathan are going to produce the film themselves, right here in New Hampshire. Jonathan is a writer and filmmaker and Bob is the artistic director at Andy?s Summer Playhouse.
