Report proposes Arctic guidelines

|

Sovereign states, international governmental organizations and the maritime industry should help prepare a uniform policy to regulate shipping in the Arctic region and engage with native populations while doing so, according to a report released by the University of Alaska Fairbanks in collaboration with Dartmouth and the University of the Arctic's Institute for Applied Circumpolar Policy last month. The report, "Considering a Roadmap Forward: The Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment," called for a "Polar Code" that would present guidelines to protect the Arctic region from the adverse ecological, social and economic impacts of increased shipping and commercial marine activity.

Experts debate how to solve state budget issue

|

Alice Zhao / The Dartmouth Staff Alice Zhao / The Dartmouth Staff Choices must be made regarding New Hampshire's taxation and spending priorities to combat rising state deficits, according to a panel of experts and community leaders who spoke in a discussion called "Putting Our Money Where Our Mouth Is: New Hampshire's Priorities and Budget," held in the Rockefeller Center on Tuesday. Economist and executive director of the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies Steve Norton indicated that the state is suffering from a structural deficit, and that current sources of revenue were insufficient to adequately fund state services. "The revenue structure we have established does not keep up with the social contract that we keep with the citizens of New Hampshire," he said. Cathy Silber, executive director of the Granite State Fair Tax Coalition, offered four possible remedies for the state's budget woes. "We can cut back on services when the need goes up or costs rise, we can raise revenue sources, we can combine these two options, or we can do nothing," she said. Brian Walsh, chairman of the Hanover Board of Selectman, described his concerns, which he said he believes are shared by local governments across the state. "In the past two years, the Town of Hanover tax rate has gone up 2 percent a year," he said. He linked this to a marked decrease in payments from the state government to the local governments.
