“Tax relief and our New Hampshire Advantage of fiscal responsibility has increased opportunity for thousands of Granite Staters and ignited our economy. The House’s proposed budget would undermine New Hampshire’s economic progress by increasing spending and taxes,” said Greg Moore, AFP-NH State Director. “We are educating Granite Staters and encouraging them to make their voice heard. Granite Staters know that the government digging deeper into their pockets isn’t a viable economic model for growth and opportunity, and our activists are mobilizing to help stop this reckless budget.”
