• Leading class action lawsuit, Keene and Londonderry seek restitution for PFAS-containing firefighting gear (ledgertranscript.com) — Londonderry is joining Keene in a major federal class action lawsuit seeking to recover the high cost of replacing PFAS‑containing firefighting gear with safer equipment. Town officials argue manufacturers knew or should have known the gear could expose firefighters to harmful "forever chemicals," and they want a jury trial to help cover millions in replacement costs statewide.
   

• Londonderry likely to release town manager investigation findings in weeks (unionleader.com) — Londonderry residents are waiting for the release of investigation findings into fired Town Manager Shaun Mulholland, as a local journalist presses in Rockingham County Superior Court for access to the records under New Hampshire's Right-to-Know Law.
