Boosters Protest Sports Change In Kennebunks
In Kennebunkport the School Administrative District 71 board faced protests from about 30 boosters over plans to replace interscholastic seventh and eighth grade sports with an intramural program next year. The large turnout halted a decision pending study by a committee including four boosters to weigh costs, space use, and overall benefits. The boosters offered help, arguing broader participation and potential district savings, with an estimated saving up to 1400 dollars. The issue continues at the next meeting after the committee reviews alternatives.

Local Attorney Is Hero In N.H. Income Tax Case
Maine lawyer Charles Smith won a U S Supreme Court ruling declaring New Hampshire's income tax on out of staters working there unconstitutional. The decision could affect Maine Vermont and Massachusetts efforts to recoup lost revenue. Smith spoke from Florida where he is on vacation with his wife after the ruling. The Maine AG estimated about 750000 withheld in four years and total possible losses for the three states exceeding 13 million dollars. The ruling prompted NH officials to warn of fiscal strains and possible budget cuts while considering further litigation and possible refunds.
