AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoStatehouse & Courts: Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed 18 bills and vetoed three, including a medicinal marijuana bill that would have let dispensaries grow in on-site greenhouses, while lawmakers also advanced housing bills aimed at easing local zoning limits and pushing more multifamily development. Disaster Response: After storms hit Madison and nearby towns, the state requested FEMA’s help with a joint Preliminary Damage Assessment to support a possible federal disaster declaration. Public Safety: NH police will run distracted-driving patrols statewide as graduation season and Laconia Motorcycle Week kick off. Legal Fight Over Evidence: In the Logan Clegg double-murder case, a judge again ruled that key evidence from an unconstitutional cellphone location search can be used under “inevitable discovery.” Energy & Nuclear: Nuclear power stayed front and center as Ayotte weighed vetoes and lawmakers pursued a compromise package to keep energy funding and generation options moving. Local Politics & Community: Laconia Motorcycle Week opened with Ayotte at the podium; elsewhere, Manchester school funding shortfalls are forcing cuts and fewer teacher replacements, and a Portsmouth forum is set to address nuclear threats and global security.
