Promises Made, Promises Kept<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are a NH Republican, today was a very good day. Not a single vote lost. Of most importance?<\/p>\n

Today the NH House passed the House Republican\u2019s proposed budget. While there has been a lot of things said about the budget, I want to be clear that this budget is delivering on the promises Republicans made to the people when they elected us back to the majority. A promise that we would be good shepherds of their tax dollars and that we would cut back government while cutting taxes. Here is what we are doing.<\/p>\n

This budget:<\/p>\n

1. Cuts the statewide property tax by $100,000,000 which will give much needed property tax relief.<\/p>\n

2. Assures that no taxpayer money will go to the funding of abortions.<\/p>\n

3. Begins the phase out of the Interest and Dividends tax \u2013 AKA the secret NH Income tax.<\/p>\n

4. Eliminates 226 vacant state jobs, saving the taxpayers $22,700,000.<\/p>\n

5. Decreases the Meals and Rooms tax.<\/p>\n

6. Reduces the Business Enterprise Tax, which is one of the most regressive taxes in existence.<\/p>\n

7. Reduces the Business Profits Tax, giving much needed relief to our many small businesses.<\/p>\n

8. Increases the Rainy Day Fund by to $146,000,000 \u2013 the highest in the state\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the voters sent Republicans to Concord with a mandate to end the fiscal insanity of the out-of-touch Democrats. This week we hope to deliver on our promises to the people.<\/p>\n

In addition to the fiscal policies passed, we also passed four 2nd amendment related bills. The most important, HB307 State pre-emption law that ensures no political sub-division of the State of NH can create laws\/regulations\/etc that undermine your 2nd amendment rightS<\/p>\n

Did I mention today was a very good day for Republicans?<\/p>\n

More tomorrow!<\/p>\n
