The body of a Hinsdale man, reported missing on April 23rd, has been discovered in the Ashuelot River, approximately one and a half miles from where he was last seen. Hinsdale Police Chief Melissa Evans expressed condolences to the family of Scott Plante, stating that the cause of death remains undetermined. Plante, 62, was reported missing by his concerned roommate after she had not heard from him since April 16. Initially believing he was visiting a friend, she contacted the police when she found his vehicle at Millstream Riverfront Park on April 23. Surveillance footage revealed he parked on April 17, exited his vehicle around 9 a.m., and walked toward the river. Various agencies, including New Hampshire Fish and Game and the Hinsdale Fire Department, assisted in the search, which involved boat and dive teams. Plante’s body was found shortly after 11 a.m. on Monday. Authorities confirmed there is no threat to the public and encouraged anyone with information to reach out to Sergeant Seth Alle of the New Hampshire State Police Marine Patrol at 503-227-2117.

Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire has endorsed a bill to limit executive authority over tariffs. She questions the legitimacy of the Trump administration’s tariffs, particularly those imposed on China, and argues that such powers should reside with Congress. Goodlander contends that these tariffs, along with significant reductions in Medicaid and Social Security, are intended to finance tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. The administration, however, claims that the tariffs aim to create fair competition and prevent foreign exploitation of the U.S. economy.
