Congratulations!
New Hampshire was the only state in America to flip both houses to Republican this past election. Our reward? The Republican majority in just a short seven months created and passed what Governor Sununu has called “The best Budget New Hampshire has ever had!”
Importantly, this budget increases our children’s educational freedom, and delivers a voluntary paid family medical leave program — voluntary: no income tax!
Our new budget:
• Fully eliminates interest and dividends taxes over the next five years, helping Seniors & Retirees.
• Reduces the rooms and meals tax, promoting tourism.
• Reduces the Business Profits Tax and the Business Enterprise Tax, helping NH’s small businesses.
• Exempts many NH small businesses from even filing taxes by raising minimum thresholds.
• Sends back $100 million in direct property tax relief to municipalities.
• Returns $50 million more to cities and towns from Rooms & Meals tax.
• Invests $30 million in school districts for school building aid.
• Creates Education Freedom Accounts helping increase low income families’ educational opportunities.
• Provides more money per pupil for public education than ever before.
• Increases our Rainy Day Fund.
• Initiates voluntary private sector administrated paid family medical leave.
Gov. Sununu’s message accompanying his historic veto of the Democrat wrongheaded “Family & Medical Leave Act” of last session summed it up nicely:
“Whether one chooses to characterize this as a “premium on wages” or a “payroll deduction,” the reality remains that if it looks like an income tax, functions like an income tax, and takes more money out of the paychecks of hard working taxpayers like an income tax, then it is an income tax!”
Yes, common sense New Hampshire Republicans to the rescue. Republicans got it done; right! Let’s continue this roll and vote for conservative Republican candidates again!
You’ll be glad you did.
