Mike Whalley Memorial

By Dan Gorenstein on Monday, March 3, 2008.

Republicans and Democrats are mourning the death of Republican House leader Mike Whalley.

The eight term Representative had been diagnosed with a brain tumor last fall.

He died from complications due to a recent fall.

The governor has ordered all flags on state buildings to fly at half staff Wednesday and Thursday.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Dan Gorenstein has this remembrance.

We hope you find this to be a convenient way to follow town meeting.  We sent out a total of three online forms to town officials, school administrators, and planning board chairs.  Not all of them responded.  If town, school or zoning information is missing, you might offer them a gentle reminder.  It only takes a few minutes for them to complete the form.

We encourage you to post your comments, ideas and suggestions below.

You can also view this town's historic spending and revenue trends. If the town sent a link to its warrant, you can see how it compares to other towns via the Warrant Wizard.

The Interactive Town Meeting Map

By Jon Greenberg on Monday, March 3, 2008.

Next week, residents in most New Hampshire towns will take part in town meeting season. They will vote on budgets and items as specific as a new contract for back hoe services. All told, their decisions will affect some four and half billion dollars worth of spending statewide.

In a joint effort with New Hampshire’s Local Government Center, NHPR invited every town to submit just a few highlights of items on the warrant and we put that information into an interactive map on our web site. Executive Editor Jon Greenberg has been looking at what’s come in so far and joins us now.

Charter School Funding

By Laura Knoy on Monday, March 3, 2008.

As federal start-up grants for local charter schools dwindle, many are looking to the state to keep them afloat. But given the current budget shortfall, there’s still debate over whether to throw them a life vest. This week could be make-or-break for several charter schools in the Granite State. We’ll look at where new funds could come from and discuss possible solutions to the charter school crisis.
