Weather forecast:
1. Man From Concord Arrested On Stalking And Protective Order Charges After Incident At City Garage (patch.com) — Concord residents may notice increased police and court activity after a Liberty Street man with a history of prior arrests was taken into custody behind the Durgin Block Street Garage on School Street. Police say he was found just a few feet from a woman he is ordered to stay 300 feet away from, leading to new domestic violence stalking and protective order violation charges in Concord District Court.
2. Concord Police Providing Safety Patrols After U.S. District Judge Strikes Down Voter Security Provision (patch.com) — Concord police are stepping up safety patrols around the West End home of U.S. District Judge Samantha Elliott after her ruling against a key proof-of-citizenship voter registration requirement. The decision, issued in Concord, has sparked statewide political debate, while local officers and U.S. Marshals quietly monitor security as state officials prepare an appeal and adjust voter registration procedures.
3. Concord residents demand cuts as city council debates budget (concordmonitor.com) — Concord’s upcoming 2027 city budget could raise the city portion of property taxes by 5.5%, and residents are pressing councilors to cut costs and rethink priorities like the golf course and major projects. Councilors will decide Thursday how to balance debt, wage increases, public safety staffing, bus funding, and amenities such as Everett Arena, White Park, and local festivals against taxpayers’ growing financial strain.
4. Corrections chief urging warden's promotion despite spate of employee lawsuits (unionleader.com) — State officials are weighing whether to promote the warden of the men’s state prison in Concord, even as past and current employees pursue lawsuits over workplace treatment and discipline. Executive Councilors remain split ahead of Wednesday’s vote, with some citing ongoing litigation and calls for “fresh blood,” while others emphasize the warden’s long experience and strong support from many staff and unions.
5. Wildlife Baiting Permit Applications Should Be Deposited in Drop Box at Fish and Game Headquarters (nhfishgame.com) — Hunters and wildlife baiters can now drop their 2026 baiting permit applications in a secure box outside New Hampshire Fish and Game headquarters at 11 Hazen Drive in Concord. The department outlines key June–October mailing and drop-off deadlines for baiting on state-managed and private lands, plus where to find the updated application form online.
