The grassroots group that fueled Howard Dean's failed presidential run two years ago may launch an ethics probe into donations made to conservative state senators by Club Motorsports Inc., a representative from the group said Thursday.

Despite strong testimony by state Sen. Joe Kenney, R-Wakefield, Thursday HB 90 failed to pass the N.H. Senate by a 14-10 margin.

The N.H. House Wednesday resoundingly passed an amended version of HB 90, drafted by Carroll County representatives to repeal the racetrack law that stripped away local control over the course planned for Tamworth's Mount Whittier.

The House Municipal and County Government Committee on Tuesday voted 14-5 to kill legislation that would repeal the controversial racetrack bill which robbed Tamworth of control over the motorsports park planned for Mount Whittier.

Two public hearings are expected to be jammed on a House bill that would repeal the now infamous SB 458, the state law that allowed developers of a proposed driving track to skirt a local ordinance which would have restricted its operation.
