We asked YOU what you want to see in the state budget.

This budget needs to reflect the needs of Granite Staters.

NH GOP must STOP shifting the burden for critical services onto local communities and STOP raising YOUR property taxes. #NHPolitics

We asked, YOU answered! These are just a few of the issues that Granite Staters want to see funded in the state budget.

Will Gov. Ayotte’s budget on Thursday meet the mark? #NHPolitics

A budget is about priorities and our state's budget should reflect the priorities of Granite Staters. Ahead of Governor Ayotte's budget address, we want to hear from you — what are your top priorities that you want to see receive funding? #NHPolitics

‘America has DOGE fever’: Republicans in state capitals rush to emulate Trump and Musk’s government-slashing project - The Boston Globe State-level Republicans are eager to tap into the enthusiasm they see for Donald Trump’s agenda — and the star power they see provided by Elon Musk.

"I want to be clear, Democrats also support government efficiency wholeheartedly,” Rep. Alexis Simpson said. “We need New Hampshire solutions to New Hampshire problems and this seems like an idea that’s transplanted from D.C.” #NHPolitics

Sentinel Opinion: The Concord tax increase; Keep in mind how much state officials' decisions affect local property tax bills The flip of the calendar to the new year means the local budget season has begun in earnest. That’s when school districts, municipalities and counties go through the protracted process

"Balancing the state budget will be hard, but it’s a lot easier when the state government can off-load its responsibilities + then point the finger at local governments for the property tax increases needed to cover those responsibilities."

Lawmakers Seek Education Freedom Account Expansion Under a cloud of shrinking state revenues some lawmakers are proposing a bill that could add $102 million or more a year in state spending.

"Without a cap state money could be used for travel expenses to a private school in California or Europe.

This website is really no better than X but at least people are funny over there.

High property taxes are bad because Granite Staters cannot afford them, while the GOP gives handouts to the wealthiest corporations + the top 1% — as referenced in this post. Perhaps it would do you some spiritual good to be amplifying the message rather than consistently trolling it.

Newly inaugurated N.H. Governor Kelly Ayotte calls Massachusetts ‘a cautionary tale’ - The Boston Globe The new governor also announced a state-level plan modeled after President-elect Donald Trump’s DOGE initiative.

"I am concerned that after eight years of NH GOP leadership on the budget that the tab has really been passed down to local property tax payers, and we are determined to stop that.”
-Alexis Simpson #NHPolitics www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/09/m...

Keep in mind most voters are not on BlueSky — it’s merely a cess pool of democrats yelling at one another.

Why are property taxes bad? That’s your question? 😂

Today we've heard a lot about the #NHAdvantage, but the experiences of hardworking Granite Staters paint a different picture, while Republicans give millions in handouts to:

🔻Corporations
🔻The Top 1%
🔻Their Wealthiest Donors

What NH Advantage? #NHPolitics

Feeling property tax bill sticker shock? Blame the past 4 years of Republican downshifting.
