Clinton urged to keep passport center open
Share this
New Hampshire's Democrats in Congress are urging Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to spare a New Hampshire passport center that's scheduled to close this week.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and U.S. Reps. Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter are asking Clinton to review a contract that moved the work from the National Passport Information Center in Dover. The center has more than 300 workers.
The Communications Workers of America has filed a complaint with the State Department on behalf of center employees, questioning the new contract.
Shaheen, Hodes and Shea-Porter, joined by Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, asked Clinton to keep the center open and investigate the new contract.
