State Senator Wards 1, 2, & 12
David Boutin
Both the NH House and Senate have passed budgets that are fiscally irresponsible. Both budgets increase spending by more than 11% while state revenues have shrunk during a deepening recession. To pay for this, the Democrats have raised taxes, hiked fees, and downshifted costs to property taxpayers. Families are struggling to pay their mortgages and put food on the table, small businesses are trying to keep their doors open and people working, so why in the world would we be asking them to pay even more?
It is time that state government cut spending instead of raising taxes. As a member of the House Ways & Means Committee, I have voted against every one of these taxes, fee increases and downshifting of costs. As a member of the Senate, I will do exactly the same thing. State departments need to prioritize programs and services and make difficult budget decisions. These are the same decisions that all of us are making every day during this recession and it is time that state government did the same.
Please join my efforts to bring common sense and fiscal conservatism back to the State House.
