By Dan Gorenstein on Friday, March 9, 2007.

Lawmakers will hold a hearing Monday on a proposal to ban dog racing in the state.

Tension is running high on both sides.

Supporters say the greyhounds live in poor conditions and are exposed to brutal injuries for nothing more than sport.

The race tracks strongly deny that claim.

Opponents warn that the measure threatens state revenue and over 150 full-time jobs.

25 in 25: Bishop Gene Robinson

By Laura Knoy on Friday, March 9, 2007.

To celebrate NHPR's twenty-fifth anniversary, The Exchange is producing a series called 25 in 25. We'll talk with twenty-five Granite Staters who have topped our headlines, shaped our state and made us think over the past quarter-century that NHPR has been on the air. We continue our series with New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, the church’s first openly gay and non-celibate Bishop. We'll talk with him about his time with the church and what his role as Bishop has meant to him, to the state and the church in general. We’ll also get his perspective on how the Granite State has grown and changed over the last 25 years in not only faith and religion, but in general.
