This Just In: Health Care Costs are Rising

By Mark Bevis on Monday, November 20, 2006.

Families USA has come out with a new report.

The news is not startling: Health care costs are rising.

But the report focuses on how high and how quickly those costs are rising.

The result is that more and more people in New Hampshire are being priced out of the market.

Ron Pollack, Director of Families USA, described the report's findings to NHPR's Mark Bevis.

Revisiting the View Tax

By Laura Knoy on Monday, November 20, 2006.

Pay-Per-View! We're not talking about television, rather the view tax placed on New Hampshire homeowners who can gaze out their windows on mountains and lakes. It is stirring a serious backlash statewide. We'll weigh the pros and cons of putting a value on your view.

Laura's guests are David Ezyk, a retired Marine Aviator who opposes the view tax and Secretary of the Lancaster Taxpayers Association; Philip Blatsos, Commissioner of the State Department of Revenue Administration and a member of the Assessing Standards Board; and Gary Roberge, CEO of Avitar Associates of New England, a company that has done assessing in New England for more than twenty years, including real estate assessment.
