Weather forecast:
• Made In NH Initiative, To Promote Local Businesses Statewide, Launched In Bedford (patch.com) — Bedford just hosted the statewide launch of the new Made in NH initiative, bringing state officials and business leaders together to promote New Hampshire-made products under a unified brand. Local company Wire Belt and other businesses shared how the program’s shared logo, digital tools, and storytelling focus can boost visibility, attract workers, and connect with customers who care about local craftsmanship and community impact.
• New Hampshire lawmakers vote down open enrollment bill that was GOP priority (wmur.com) — A closely watched school open enrollment bill was unexpectedly voted down in the New Hampshire House, with some Republicans citing cost concerns for their districts, including Bedford. Bedford Rep. Kristin Noble backed the measure, arguing it offered measured school choice by allowing transfers only where space exists, and lawmakers say a separate open enrollment bill will now carry the debate forward.
• From School Bus Safety To Decomposing Bodies, NH Senate Takes Action (indepthnh.org) — Bedford residents are represented prominently as Sen. Denise Ricciardi, R-Bedford, helps advance a School Bus Safety Act aimed at easing driver shortages and cracking down on illegally passing stopped buses. The Senate also debated and acted on a wide range of statewide issues, from school budgeting and education standards to livestock cruelty, parental alienation, dam funding, and how human remains may be handled in New Hampshire.
