• Veto override brings over $221 million to I-293 exit renovations (inklink.news) — More than $221 million is now headed to overhaul I-293 Exits 6 and 7 in Manchester after lawmakers overrode Gov. Kelly Ayotte's veto. The projects will widen the highway, redesign both exits, and address long-standing safety worries local drivers know as "Amoskeag Roulette," despite concerns about higher tolls statewide.
   

• Scammers posing as FBI target NH residents (unionleader.com) — Federal agents are warning New Hampshire residents, including Manchester seniors, about scammers posing as FBI officials and pushing victims to use bitcoin machines. A Manchester couple lost thousands in a similar scheme, while a Varney Street Quick Stop recently stopped three seniors from losing $17,000, and new state rules will soon cap and delay large crypto-kiosk transactions.
