2. Three members of a Manchester family have been indicted for theft and Medicaid fraud, according to Attorney General John M. Formella. Fawn Gobis, 57, Cody Gobis, 22, and Richard Gobis, 54, are alleged to have taken part in creating and filing false records amounting to $10,551.62 for services that were not actually performed. If found guilty, the Gobis could be sentenced to up to 15 years for the charges of theft by deception and receiving stolen property and up to seven years for false claims and false records.

3. Former New Hampshire state senator Kevin Cavanaugh is the latest to throw a hat in the ring in the race for the next mayor of Manchester. "I love Manchester," Cavanaugh said. "It's what I've known my whole life. My kids, my wife, Kerry, and I chose to live here, stay here and raise our three kids. And they've gone through the same public school system. And it's just something I want to give back." (WMUR)
