Gov. Kelly Ayotte called for more scrutiny of the sale of a Nashua warehouse to Nongfu Spring, China's leading bottled water producer—questioning the above-market price and urging a federal review.

Councilor Dave Wheeler said the feds would investigate while Mayor Jim Donchess noted the state economic department had facilitated the sale.

Former UNH quarterback Max Brosmer, a backup for the Vikings, may suit up against the Patriots in their second preseason game Saturday at 1 p.m.—he posted a strong performance against the Texans last weekend and spent five years as UNH's starting quarterback before transferring.
