📰 News we're reading

• A $4.95 toll becomes $9.50 for some trucks in New Hampshire (landline.media) — Drivers using the Hampton tolls on I-95 should prepare for a major hike on Jan. 1, 2027, when a five-axle truck without a New Hampshire E-ZPass will jump from $4.95 to $9.50. Lawmakers overrode Gov. Kelly Ayotte's veto to raise tolls statewide, but residents can soften the impact by opening a New Hampshire E-ZPass account and getting a free transponder for 210 days starting Dec. 1.
