The New Hampshire House rejected two gambling bills legalizing jai alai and betting cards on pro sports after debate. It approved Gov. Meldrim Thomson’s tax package to raise about 12.2 million dollars by higher cigarette and beer taxes, corporate franchise fees, and taxing corporate profits abroad, while keeping a one cent cigarette tax increase and five cent per six pack beer hike. The income tax proposal to ease property taxes was defeated.
