Low Spending Equals Low Taxes
Defending the New Hampshire Advantage Pledge to be unveiled at  news conference

Manchester - With the introduction of our spending cap efforts in communities across the state, the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition has officially begun its proactive campaign to return commonsense spending to all levels of government. Tomorrow afternoon, at a 1:00 p.m. press conference, NHAC will introduce the second part of our campaign, our "Defending the New Hampshire Advantage Pledge."

"Taxpayers all over this state make tough kitchen table budget decisions every day. It is about time Governor Lynch, leaders in our legislature, and government officials on all levels pull back the reins of their out-of-control spending," said Mike Biundo, Chairman of the NH Advantage Coalition.

Defending the New Hampshire Advantage Pledge New Conference
Date: May 7th, 2008

Time: 1:00 p.m.
Where: Legislative Office Building (LOB), Concord, NH

All candidates and current office holders are invited to take the pledge. We will be periodically informing and educating voters on whom exactly is standing up for the New Hampshire Taxpayer.

According to the National Association of State Budget officers, only seven states had a higher percentage increase than NH in general fund expenditures from their fiscal 2007 budget to their fiscal 2008 budget.

New Hampshire had the largest percentage increase in general fund expenditures in the region.
