Many factors help determine the worth of a home, including the size of the house, the land it sits on, and the surrounding properties, but none have caused more friction lately than the so called “view tax”. We’ll look at what it is, why it’s a hot issue right now and what’s being done about it in New Hampshire, including a newly formed legislative committee to address assessments based on view. Laura's guests are Gary Roberge, President, Owner and Senior Appraisor of Avitar Associates of New England, the company that does assessments for more than half of the communities in New Hampshire, and Paul Carreiro, Selectman in Orford.

Los Lobos brought Latin American music into the U.S. mainstream decades before anyone had heard of Marc Anthony or Ricky Martin. The band from East L.A. released their first full-length album to critical acclaim back in 1984, and a few years later they topped the charts with their rendition of Ritchie Valens' La Bamba. They've been going strong ever since, and this weekend they'll bring their mix of rock 'n' roll and Mexican folk music to the Lebanon Opera House. Also on the show we hear a vintage interview Shay Zeller did with Marylou Ashooh Lazos about the history of baseball in New Hampshire. Ashooh Lazos is the curator of the Manchester Millyard Museum.
