Town Meeting Roundup

By Laura Knoy on Monday, March 10, 2008.

As town meeting season reaches its peak, we’ll see what major topics voters will chew on along with homemade casseroles and cookies. There are the perennial subjects of money for fire trucks and road repair, but we’ll also find out how much the housing crisis and the near-record snowfall is putting pressure on this year’s budgets, and check in on a wide range of concerns, including a proposal to change New Hampshire’s tax structure.

Guests

  • Jon Greenberg, NHPR's Executive Editor. Jon has worked with the New Hampshire Local Government Center to develop NHPR's interactive Town Meeting map
  • Laura Scott, town planner for Henniker
  • Steve Norton, director of the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy

We'll also hear from

  • Paul Sanderson, a selectman from Greenland
