• In review of Merrimack's road safety committee, all signs point to signs (unionleader.com) — Merrimack’s highway safety committee is focusing on better signage and targeted fixes after reviewing crash patterns, especially along Back River Road near Norm’s Transmission Service. Officials say many recent accidents there stem from distracted driving, not speeding, and are weighing extra warning signs while also replacing missing “no thru trucking” signs and carefully limiting where new stop signs can legally be installed.
• New Hampshire PFAS bill sparks alarm after sludge protections vanish in Senate rewrite (thecooldown.com) — A Merrimack state representative with personal experience of cancer is at the center of a fight over how New Hampshire regulates PFAS‑contaminated sewage sludge on farms. Her bill, meant to pause sludge spreading and protect farmers, was heavily rewritten in the Senate, alarming advocates who fear it now weakens safeguards while broadening liability protections and exemptions for powerful interests.
