Housing Rights Push: Sen. Jeanne Shaheen introduced a bill to protect mobile home residents from steep rent increases by encouraging park owners to sell to residents. Tourism Season: NH officials are forecasting about 4.8 million summer visitors and are leaning on a “Live Free” campaign plus the Ice Cream Trail.
