📰 News we're reading

• Two claims tossed, two still in play in Ansaldi's lawsuit over firing (concordbridge.org) — A judge has dismissed two of former Concord CFO Anthony Ansaldi's claims against Town Manager Kerry Lafleur but allowed his whistleblower and business-interference allegations to move toward trial. The case, which stems from his 2025 firing, continues to shape discussion of town finances and leadership, and may not reach trial until 2028.
   

• Traffic enforcement fluctuates as police workload ratchets up (concordbridge.org) — Concord residents are seeing far fewer traffic tickets as police shift time toward more complex calls and investigations, even as pedestrian and bicycle crashes remain a concern. Local advocates and the Transportation Advisory Committee are pushing for safer street designs and clearer policies, while a new five-year roadway construction and safety plan is moving forward with the Select Board.
