Weather forecast:
1. New Hampshire bill to double out-of-state turnpike tolls (vnews.com) — Bedford drivers should know a pending state bill would double turnpike tolls for out-of-state vehicles at the Bedford plaza, while leaving in-state rates unchanged. Lawmakers say the hike is needed to fund long-delayed road and bridge projects, though Gov. Kelly Ayotte still opposes any toll increase. The measure has already cleared both chambers and is under further House review.

Former treasurer of Bedford Youth Lacrosse Association pleads guilty to stealing more than $70,000 (unionleader.com) — A longtime treasurer for Bedford’s youth lacrosse program has admitted stealing more than $70,000 and has repaid the money as part of a plea deal that avoids prison if he stays out of trouble. The case prompted leadership changes, restored nonprofit status for the Bedford Youth Lacrosse Association, and includes restrictions on his contact with league board members.
3. Emily, 15, hopes to share her sparkle with a family and find her 'Home at Last' (wmur.com) — A New Hampshire teen hoping for an adoptive family recently enjoyed a pampering makeover at Glow and Grace in Bedford, followed by a confidence-boosting photo shoot and sweet treats.
