House Committee Strips Lease Language from Cannon Mountain Lease Bill

The House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee today stripped SB217, the Cannon Mountain lease bill, of its lease, Franconia Notch State Park/Cannon master plan and veterans memorial sections, leaving only the original hiking corridor language intact.

It also attached unrelated legislation to the bill. The measure will face the full House on May 15.

This potentially means the end of lease talk for this legislative session. But it also might mean that the issue will be brought up again next year.
