NH News Recap for Oct. 27, 2023: NH officials offer support as search continues for suspected mass shooter in Maine


Listen Later

At least 18 people were killed and 13 injured during a mass shooting Wednesday in Lewiston, Maine. Officials here in New Hampshire are offering support as authorities continue to search for the suspected shooter.


Immigration advocates are calling on the federal government to deny Gov. Chris Sununu’s pending request to give local and state police the power to enforce federal immigration laws.


And lawmakers met in Concord this week for Veto Day. They voted to uphold Sununu's veto on a bill meant to help a biomass plant in Berlin continue operation. We talk about these stories and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap.
