📰 News we're reading

• Executive Council halts $700M replacement of NH men's prison (nhpr.org) — New Hampshire’s Executive Council has paused a $700 million plan to replace the state men’s prison, citing cost concerns and a need for more transparency and options. Milford’s Councilor David Wheeler joined the majority, saying his gut told him the state shouldn’t commit to a massive project it might not afford, even as officials acknowledge the prison’s deteriorating conditions.    

• Thomas Joseph Sonn (recorder.com) — Milford readers may recognize Thomas “Tom” Sonn, whose father hailed from Milford and who was born nearby in Nashua before a life of service and travel. The longtime Navy electronics technician and craftsman of McDermott pool cues died April 11 in Greer, South Carolina, at age 83, with private services planned and memorial donations suggested to animal shelters or veterans’ organizations.
