NHGOP APPLAUDS SENATE VOTE TO REJECT REPEAL OF EDUCATION TAX CREDIT

“Senate Republicans should be commended for fighting to uphold the important education tax credit that helps parents find the best possible educational opportunities for their children, regardless of family income. This tax credit levels the playing field and offers even our poorest students the opportunity to benefit from the learning environment that is best for them.

“Governor Hassan has repeatedly fought to repeal this popular tax credit and restrict school choice. Her disgraceful efforts to kill a program that allows our most vulnerable children to have access to a quality education reminds voters that the governor is out of touch with New Hampshire values.

Teens Robbed of I-pod/Cell Phone

 

MANCHESTER, NH- On Monday, February 11, 2013, at about 6:30 PM, Manchester Police responded to a Clay Street address for a report of a robbery.  On arrival, they met with two 16 year old Manchester teens who reported they had been the victims of a robbery a short time earlier on Somerville Street, near Belmont Street.

 

According to the boys, they were walking in the area when they were approached by two men, one of whom demanded their belongings, indicating his companion had a gun, although no gun was observed.

 

One of the boys surrendered his I-pod Nano and Galaxy S3 cell phone and the men left.  They were last seen leaving the area as passengers in an older, dark colored 4-door sedan operated by a third individual who was possibly wearing a red sweatshirt.

 

The first suspect was described as a white male in his forties, about 6’3” tall with a slender build and dark “stubble” on his face.  He was last seen wearing a dark colored vest and a green “beanie” style hat.  The second man, alleged to have possessed a gun, was described as a clean-shaven white male in his forties with an average height and build.  He was last seen wearing a camouflage shirt and khaki pants.
