What Will Portsmouth Do About Its Mask Requirement Ordinance?
Mask mandates on the Seacoast have been adjusted, ended early or allowed to expire with one notable exception, the city of Portsmouth, where city councilors are expected to discuss the issue on Tuesday.
The Exeter Select Board on Monday voted to lift its mask ordinance in favor of a recommendation advisory asking residents and visitors to wear a mask indoors in public spaces when close to others and to follow both CDC and state guidelines. We simply ask everyone to do their part in wearing masks or face coverings where appropriate. We do not condone shaming or calling out those that are or are not wearing face coverings, the advisory reads.

In a state that boasts many “firsts” for women in elected office, it might be shocking to learn that 41% of New Hampshire select boards have zero women.
Matters report from the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation details a significant gender gap in elected representation for women at the local level. In 2020, the organization surveyed all 221 towns and found that 37% of the 1,642 people serving on school and select boards are women and just 29% of towns have achieved gender parity or majority women. Data regarding city councils and school boards is forthcoming.
