The plan to widen I-93 has been a point of contention for many New Hampshire residents since the beginning. And now the people behind a new lawsuit want changes to the plan, saying that water and air pollution and sprawl will result from the current plan. They say a rail component would help alleviate these problems. New Hampshire's DOT has countered by saying that rail would not significantly reduce demand for the highway and that plans are in place to monitor pollution. We'll look at the I-93 Expansion Project and the issues raised by this new lawsuit. Laura's guests are Tom Irwin, Staff Attorney for the Conservation Law Foundation and Lead Attorney on the I-93 lawsuit and Chuck Morse, Republican Senator from Salem who is Chairman of the Finance Committee and Vice-Chairman of the Transportation and Interstate Cooperation Committee.
