MANCHESTER, NH – It was a busy week in the MHT, and our top-read stories reflect that.
At the top of the list, a press release from the NH Attorney General’s office, citing a “restraining order” placed on Liquid Planet’s two speed slides, after an elevated bacteria reading. The update on that story, which is also posted, explains the situation from the perspective of owner Kevin Dumont, who said the bacteria situation was corrected, but a permit situation prevented reopening of the slides for the time being.
Also among the top stories, Planned Parenthood funding was voted down by the Executive Council, several drug-related arrests were made, and the Manchester Food Co-op plans to go mobile.
