I live in New York, I don't own a car and take the subway to work everyday. So, I really like public transportation.
So I'm all for New Hampshire's plan to build a commuter line connecting
suburban New Hampshire to Boston. But they don't have to take away the
rights of people who could be injured or killed to do so.
On Monday, the House of Representatives passed legislation that would arbitrarily cap damages should someone be harmed or killed. Governor John Lynch has said he supports the legislation, so now it is up to the Senate next week.
The New Hampshire's Supreme Court has previously ruled that caps are unconstitutional in the 'Live Free or Die' state, however it may be a while to see how this legislation goes.
