• Looming tax cap question complicates budget planning for Mascenic Regional School District (keenesentinel.com) — School leaders in the Mascenic Regional School District are warning that a looming statewide vote on local school tax caps leaves them budgeting in the dark, and they're watching how nearby towns like Wilton and Jaffrey respond. With new laws reshaping both overall tax limits and separate votes on SAU budgets, officials fear funding constraints, pay freezes, and confusion for local voters.
   

• Vendor urges EPA to reject New Hampshire ozone-region exit (unionleader.com) — A Wilton speech therapist with severe asthma is urging federal regulators to reject New Hampshire's move to end vehicle emissions testing, arguing the state's air-quality data is inconsistent and incomplete. Her comments, alongside objections from the former testing vendor, ask the EPA to pause its review until New Hampshire provides more reliable information about how dropping tests could affect residents' health.
