Foreclosures: Show Us The Money??


The Feds shifted gears again on the $700 billion dollar bailout. They are holding $350 billion for the next administration to work out. In the mean time the auto industry and the house are fighting over the 6 billion dollars that are left after this week approval of the bailout of 21 banks and AIG. The house called on US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to " do anything they can" to stop home foreclosures following Monday's meeting on how to use the money. See http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,453684,00.html.


Share your opinions on how you think the 6 billion left from this administration's share and the remaining $350 billion for the next term should be used.

Newmarket NH Downtown Revitalization


Downtown Newmarket is finally open to 2-way traffic. This phase of the Downtown Revitalization included the construction of sidewalks along the east side of Exeter Rd and Main St , the widening if the sidewalks on the west side, new crosswalks, ornamental lighting , new curbing, water and sewer lines and landscaping area. The parking garage for the Rivermoor Landing condos (of which I have one for sale!) is also finished. It will be good to see all those power lines and poles put underground eventually. Please make a special effort to visit the local businesses along the Main Street. Their parking spots are back and they need all your support. To see updates on the project and it's history visit: http://web2.newmarketnh.gov/downtown/index.htm
