The controversial Senate bill died on the House floor Wednesday, but what role did local reps have in that decision?
A long casino bill fight on the New Hampshire Statehouse floor ended Wednesday with the House of Representatives voting to kill the controversial measure. The bill, rejected by a 199 to 164 vote, had strong support from the Senate and Gov. Maggie Hassan. It would've legalized one "high-end" casino with up to 150 table games and no more than 5,000 video slot machines, and it had been met with mixed reaction from Seacoast residents. Last week, a joint House committee recommended SB 152 be labeled "inexpedient to legislate," and the House did just that Wednesday. Here's how local state representatives voted on the bill: "Yes" means the representative voted to kill the bill by labeling it "inexpedient to legislate." Click here for coverage …

A historic town building has received a special distinction for its significance.
History continues to make history in North Hampton this month, as the town recently learned that the iconic stone Town Clerk's Office building has been added to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places. Selectmen gave their consent last December to allow the North Hampton Heritage Commission to pursue the distinction for the building, which was built in 1907 as the town's original library building and also currently houses the tax collector's office. The building's addition to the state register comes not long after North Hampton Town Hall — also listed on the state register — was honored with multiple awards, in addition to a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. North Hampton also recently celebrated a history-…

The town no longer wants to be a "donor town" for Stratham, and wants to fix other problems.
North Hampton officials plan to fund an in-depth analysis of fire department costs to determine whether the Seacoast’s 50-year-old mutual aid program needs to be amended in order to eliminate what some believe is an inherent unfairness in the system. Selectmen spoke in depth Friday with Fire Chief Dennis Cote and other local department heads involved in the mutual aid program to discuss concerns that North Hampton is responding to incidents in neighboring towns at a much higher rate than those towns are providing assistance to North Hampton. The main town in question is Stratham, and selectmen didn’t hold back during Friday’s workshop session while describing an “outdated” agreement that allows towns with volunteer fire departments to “…
