Maine May Get Less Lobster Ground N.H. Fishermen Get Lawyer
In Rye New Hampshire members of the New Hampshire Commercial Fisherman's Association voted unanimously to hire a Boston lawyer to contest a proposed settlement in the Maine New Hampshire marine boundary dispute. The plan would divide 2400 acres of lobster grounds off Portsmouth Harbor and follows a settlement approved by both states' executive councils awaiting Supreme Court review. New Hampshire fishermen argue the deal favors Maine and have sent a representative to England to study documents. Maine cites federal maps and an 18th century law to support a southward curving border.

Dark Horse Campbell Seeks York County District Attorney
Andrews B Campbell of York is a little known GOP hopeful in York County's district attorney race. He argues the opponent William Donahue's 73 years hurt him as prosecutions grow younger and more complex. Campbell emphasizes modern plea bargaining and strong trial work, backed by support from Republicans and a strong campaign push to land on the June ballot. He notes the job pays 25500 annually, is full time for four years, and stresses public service over party lines.
