A $32 million settlement in a class-action suit filed by six New Hampshire residents with psychiatric disabilities against the state is a milestone case for New Hampshire, according to local interested parties who have been following it.
“I think it’s a positive outcome for the citizens, shoring up services that are more humane and less costly than institutionalized care, and I think that’s good for the people of the state,” said Phillip Wyzik, CEO of Monadnock Family Services, which provides mental health services for the Monadnock area.
Advocates Building Lasting Equality in New Hampshire President Linda Quintanilha of Bennington concurs.

At least two area residents, both with law enforcement backgrounds, participated in Wednesday’s protest in Washington, D.C. – and one of them was among the crowd that stormed the Capitol building – although both have condemned the violence that took place.
Jason Riddle – a former mail carrier and former corrections officer who lives in Keene – entered the building after it was breached by rioters. Meanwhile, Troy Police Chief David Ellis’s presence at the protest has drawn a call from the N.H. Democratic Party for the chief to resign.
Five people died amid the chaos, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.
