We were ready to govern. Republicans chose crisis instead. In the end, after days of dysfunction, Governor Ayotte and House and Senate Republicans passed a budget that will forever leave a stain on this state. #NHPolitics

A few days before the fiscal year ends, NH Republicans nearly failed to pass a budget—then scrambled to pass a reckless CR slashing $700M from our state. Don’t balance your failure on the backs of the sick, elderly, poor, and working class. #NHPolitics

In April, Republicans set aside $36m in the state budget to pay for school vouchers - enough to cover 6,830 students. Today, they voted to scrap the income cap + let in 10k students without any additional funding.

A guaranteed budget deficit. #NHPolitics #Scam

Rapidly expanding school voucher programs pinch state budgets • New Hampshire Bulletin It’s a dilemma that some budget experts fear will become more common nationwide as the costs of school choice measures mount across the states, reaching billions of dollars each year.

States across the country are sounding the alarm: "universal" school vouchers are blowing holes in state budgets. NH is next. With the threat of no income cap +skyrocketing costs, this program threatens public schools + taxpayers alike. #NHPolitics

so bad!

House Republicans used procedural process to SILENCE DEBATE so arguments against their plan to RAISE YOUR TAXES to pay for their voucher grift would not be heard. Get loud! #NHPolitics

Got money? Not as long as House Republicans get their way. They voted to RAISE your taxes to pay for the ultra-wealthy to send their kids to private school and ballet. #NHPolitics

Watch your wallet!

Yesterday, Republicans passed SB 62, legislation that will take local taxpayer dollars to fund ICE. #NHPolitics

BREAKING: Republican bill SB 72 would make confidential access to birth control illegal for teens in NH! CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! #NHPolitics

👀 The eyes of the state are watching. Tomorrow, House Republicans will have the opportunity to do the right thing and protect children in N.H. Call your representative and tell them to act! #NHPolitics

Republicans continue a full-blown assault on New Hampshire kids—voting to tax families who rely on CHIP, dismantle the Office of the Child Advocate, and defund police units that investigate child predators online. Tomorrow, they can choose to protect children by passing SB 23. Will they? #NHPolitics

this is what democracy looks like

Today is the final public hearing on the Republicans’ disastrous budget—which includes a $50 million cut to our university system. They’ve tried to justify it by scapegoating international students, but don’t be fooled: this is about defunding public education. #NHPolitics

Rep. Telerski puts it plainly: When Republicans can’t defend their record, they distract, deflect, and look for someone to blame. That’s the GOP playbook, start to finish. #NHPolitics

No Pot of Gold for NH Budget Writers Anywhere If Senate budget writers were looking for a silver bullet to help undo some of the draconian cuts in the House budget, they did not find one Wednesday.

After voting to cut $50 million from USNH and raise in-state tuition, Joe Sweeney and House Republicans are scrambling for a scapegoat — and they’re shamelessly pointing fingers at *checks notes* international students who pay full out of state tuition. #NHPolitics

“Most parents love their children deeply. They want them to grow up healthy, safe and strong. The laws we pass should reflect that shared goal — not the fringe beliefs of a party intent on turning kids into political pawns.” #NHPolitics www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

Revenue shortfall of their own making.

Business coalition urges Senate to reject state aid cut to USNH A coalition of business groups is urging Senate budget writers to restore $50 million cut by the House from state aid to the University System of New Hampshire.

New Hampshire businesses echo what House Democrats have been saying for weeks:

Republican-backed funding cuts to USNH will harm our state's ability to attract talent, grow our workforce, and remain competitive in the regional economy. #NHPolitics
