AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoProperty Tax & Schools: Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed HB 1300, putting a school property tax cap question on the November ballot (and again in 2028), with Republicans framing it as inflation-plus-new-construction limits and Democrats largely opposing it. Trans Rights: Ayotte vetoed another bill aimed at keeping transgender people out of gender-aligned spaces like bathrooms, sports teams, and prisons, bringing her veto total to 29 for the year. Elections & Federal Pressure: The DOJ is sending “election monitors” to New Hampshire and five other states, a move critics say could chill voting while supporters argue it’s about election integrity. ICE Enforcement Fallout: Susan Collins’ campaign narrative about ICE traffic-stop changes is undercut by Trump’s public pushback after a fatal ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine. Public Safety (OHRV): NH Fish and Game is stepping up enforcement of OHRV rules, focusing on landowner permission and staying on marked trails. Health & Data: Multi-state actions continue over the 23andMe genetic data breach, with NH-linked coverage highlighting the broader settlement wave. Local Governance: Derry set new office hours for the town clerk and tax collector, effective July 6. Business/Defense: The State Department approved a nearly $2 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia (with BAE Systems in Nashua listed as principal contractor) plus a Kuwait sustainment package.
