Aug. 29, 2012: Senator Kelly Ayotte addresses the second session of the 
Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.ReutersWARREN, N.H.  A 
woman whose mother was killed in last year's school shooting in Newtown, 
Conn., confronted Sen. Kelly Ayotte Tuesday during the senator's first public 
appearance in New Hampshire since voting against gun control legislation.About 
150 people attended the town hall meeting, where Ayotte defended her vote 
against a bill that would have required criminal and mental health background 
checks for people buying guns online or at gun shows.After the vote 
two weeks ago, the New Hampshire Republican, a former prosecutor, expressed 
concern that expanded background checks could harm the rights of gun owners."I'm 
just wondering why the burden of my mother being gunned down in 
the halls of her elementary school isn't as important," WMUR-TV reported 
Erica Lafferty asking.Lafferty's mother, Dawn Hochsprung, was the principal 
of Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 pupils and six educators were 
slain in December. She died after lunging at the gunman to try 
to stop him from firing.Ayotte said she was sorry for what Lafferty

but it would have cost the cites of Cody and Jackson Hole 
much more because they depend on park-related tourism.In response, city 
officials held a joint fundraiser and collected enough money to pay the 
state to clear the roads, ensuring the gates will be open on 
time.We needed to act, and if there was a way that we 
could make a difference we wanted to do that because people rely 
on that opening date, said Mayor Nancy Tia Brown. And the moment 
that the park gate opens, things are different in Cody."Officials told Fox 
many of the donations came from businesses that stood to lose revenue 
if the gates didnt open on time for the tens of thousands 
of visitors."We work on a 20-week tourism season, and if the first 
two weeks are going to be taken out because the park's not 
open, that's a big deal," said James Blair, of Blair Hotels.In central 
Florida, a Head Start program directed to cut 5 percent from its 
budget as a result of sequester decided to temporarily stop contributions 
to the employee-retirement fund, instead of cutting services. The decision 
was made with support from staffers, according to The Tampa Bay Times.The 
program provides child care and other services for preschool children from 
low-income families and for disabled children from families of all incomes.
