  SB2 and Town MeetingBy Laura Knoy on Thursday, March 1, 2007.The traditional town meeting in New Hampshire may slowly be on its way out as more and more towns adopt SB2, a form of local government that has been around since 1996 and allows residents to vote on town and school district warrants at the polls instead of in town and school district meetings. Sixty of New Hampshire's 221 towns have adopted SB2 and only a handful have reverted back. We'll look at town meeting, its place in New England and what the future may hold as it competes with the new guy in town- Senate Bill 2. Laura's guests are Harriet Cady, a Deerfield resident who was instrumental in helping her town to adopt SB2 and Wes Moore, a selectman from Newfields, a town with SB2. He prefers town meeting and is hoping to get Newfields to rescind SB2. We'll also hear from Ted Leach, Co-Chair of the Carbon Coalition , which is pushing to get global warming initiatives onto many ballots and into town meetings across New Hampshire this March. listen:

We'll talk with Casey Bisson and Lichen Rancourt. They're working on a new program called Scriblio that will help libraries create a stronger online presence. Casey Bisson is an information architect for Plymouth State University. Lichen Rancourt is a Web Developer at the University of New Hampshire Library. listen:
