(Manchester – April 18, 2013)
Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire released the following statement on the Senate’s rejection of House Bill 370. HB 370 would have repealed the education tax credit program, which allows for businesses to claim a tax credit against the Business Enterprise Tax (BET) or Business Profits Tax (BPT) for 85% of any contribution made to a scholarship organization established pursuant to RSA 77-G. The vote was 13-11 to table the bill.

Derek Dufresne, Spokesman for Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, released the following statement:
“Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire applauds those state senators who stood up for the Education Tax Credit this morning.

“This program plays an integral part in empowering parents and giving low income families a choice in deciding their children’s education. With the Senate’s decision to table the legislation, the program will remain in place and allow Granite State families the opportunity to decide their children’s future.”

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.
