New restrictions on cryptocurrency kiosks are an important “first step” in protecting New Hampshire residents from the widespread fraud the machines are often tied to, Gov. Kelly Ayotte said on Monday. She spoke at a press conference at the Manchester Police Department, where officials, law enforcement officers, and AARP staff and volunteers celebrated the passage of Senate Bill 482, which creates new restrictions on the kiosks.

A Democratic Maine congresswoman said over the weekend that behind closed doors Republicans are acknowledging frustrations with health cuts implemented by their own party and banking on Democrats to reverse them. “I’ve had Republicans say to me, ‘I’m not that worried about the Medicaid cuts because you guys are going to take over and you’re going to fix it,'” U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, a Democrat representing southeast Maine, told a group of health reporters in Massachusetts on Saturday.
