📰 News we're reading

• Republican aldermen plan to present own version of city budget (unionleader.com) — Manchester residents could see a smaller property tax increase if two Republican aldermen persuade the Board to adopt their alternative 2027 city budget Tuesday night. Their plan trims the mayor’s proposed tax rate hike, stays under the city’s tax cap, and reshuffles spending on health insurance, transit, and several staff positions.    

• DNC autopsy: Harris' campaign and NH governor race (vnews.com) — Manchester’s role in the 2024 governor’s race comes into focus as a DNC “autopsy” critiques former city mayor Joyce Craig’s campaign and notes Democrats underperformed even in traditional strongholds like Manchester. The report and local experts say tying Kelly Ayotte too closely to Trump wasn’t enough, pointing instead to taxes, crime messaging about Manchester, and candidate definition problems.    

• SNHU announces local students on the Spring 2026 Dean's List (monroelocal.org) — Southern New Hampshire University, based on its 300-acre Manchester campus, has announced its Spring 2026 Dean’s List, recognizing full-time undergraduates who earned GPAs between 3.5 and 3.699. This particular release highlights several Georgia students, while underscoring SNHU’s growing global reach and continued presence in Manchester.
