QUOTES:
“I present to you today a fiscally responsible budget — one without
gimmicks or empty promises, and one without an income tax, a sales tax or new
taxes of any kind — a true New Hampshire budget.”
“In keeping with our Live-Free-or-Die spirit, this budget is continuing the
schedule of business tax reductions. Tax relief works — and tax relief grows
our economy. High taxes come at a high cost: the erosion of our state’s
economic competitiveness and we should not, and cannot turn back now.”
“The education of our children is one of the foundational opportunities
government can provide. A quality education opens doors, and a zip code cannot,
and should not, define a child’s chance at success. So today, I am proud to
announce that my budget focuses investment in the education of New Hampshire’s
kids.”
“We have offered a budget free of gimmicks and politics. We have made hard
choices that put Granite Staters first and values work and investment. But this
speech is not the end of the discussion. In fact, the conversations are just
beginning. I look forward to working collaboratively with all 424 of you in the
months ahead to design a fiscally responsible budget that puts the needs of our
citizens front and center.”
