Police Chief Peter Marr condemned the intimidation, the state's Civil Rights Unit has been notified, and a local attorney is offering a reward for information leading to a conviction.
   

2. Is environmental protection for Lake Massabesic slip-sliding away? (inklink.news) — A Manchester attorney and abutter is challenging the city's decision to sell 21.3 acres near Lake Massabesic for the 34-home Overlook Estates project, warning it could harm the drinking-water watershed. He argues Manchester Water Works should prioritize protecting the lake over funding construction or easing the housing crunch, and notes the Planning Board meets again Thursday evening at City Hall on related matters.
