Loudon Republican Sen. Howard Pearl (standing, left) discusses landfill regulation during a session of the New Hampshire Senate on Wednesday, Jan 7. The body ultimately passed a landfill regulation bill with an amendment authored by Pearl that he said would help promote the addition of waste disposal capacity in the state. Critics said the amendment challenges local control in landfill siting. (Photo by Molly Rains/New Hampshire Bulletin)
