CONCORD — On Wednesday, New Hampshire’s Executive Council essentially reversed its rejection of $27 million in federal money a month ago and accepted $22.5 million in Centers for Disease Control funds along with a non-binding resolution.
Health and Human Services Commissioner Lori Shibinette was able to find the $4.6 million difference from American Rescue Plan funds, which was passed at a meeting two weeks ago.
