• NH-01: Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta has had a nose for bad news in the last few weeks, although "unpaid sewer bills" doesn't sound quite as bad as "bar brawl..." y'know, unless you're running as the "fiscal responsibility" candidate. For the second time, Guinta has failed to stay current on the sewer taxes on an apartment building he owns in Manchester (while, at the same time, he can afford to shore up his weak fundraising with a $20,000 personal loan).

"Not off to a good start"
Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta does not need this kind of publicity.
The Washington Post has downgraded NH's First District Congressional race from fourth most competitive in the nation to 10th, in the wake of Guinta's involvement in a barroom brawl at a Manchester social club last month.
The incident has "significantly marred'' Guinta's hopes of building momentum against Porter. His fundraising has failed to impress as well, the Post reported.
"The $90,000 he has raised between April 1 and June 30 didn't exactly bowl us over either,'' the Post concluded.
"Is Shea-Porter vulnerable? Yes. Is Guinta off to a rocky start? You betcha.''
