📰 News we're reading

• Bedford booster club, schools still at odds over funds (unionleader.com) — Bedford parents and taxpayers are watching a tense standoff between the Bedford School District and the Bedford Bulldogs Athletic Booster Club over control and transparency of more than $500,000 in funds. At a crowded library meeting with lawyers and police present, school officials pressed the board about missing financial records, bank transfers, unpaid athletic bills, and possible governance irregularities, hinting more court action may follow.    

• Tiny homes, yurts explored by lawmakers as potential housing tool (concordmonitor.com) — Bedford state Sen. Denise Ricciardi is pressing for clearer tax rules as lawmakers weigh a bill to treat tiny homes and yurts as permanent housing across New Hampshire. The proposal could expand lower-cost options like tiny homes on wheels, but senators worry about how movable units would be assessed for property taxes. A committee recommendation on House Bill 1681 is expected in the coming weeks before a full Senate vote.
