PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – New England fishermen, already unhappy with strict limits imposed by the federal government on the amount of certain groundfish they are able to bring in, are facing a new federal fee that could potentially threaten the entire industry.
Since the stringent quotas went into effect in May 2013, many New Hampshire fishermen who previously focused on catching traditional New England fare, such as cod, flounder, and halibut, have shifted their focus to lobsters and scallops, which are less restricted.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A group of Republican senators on Thursday unveiled legislation that requires the Obama administration to impose stricter sanctions on every sector of Iran's economy that supports the country's ballistic missile program.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., is a reflection of longstanding exasperation among GOP lawmakers who've complained that President Barack Obama has failed to properly punish Tehran for repeatedly defying a U.N. ballistic missile test ban.
