Gov. Lynch Statement Regarding The
Constitutional Amendment Supported by The House Finance Committee

"I applaud the strong bipartisan effort by members of the House Finance Committee. They worked hard to find agreement on an amendment that will allow us to direct more education aid to communities with greater needs and help to ensure every child in New Hampshire has the opportunity for a quality education.

"It will take continued bipartisan cooperation to get an amendment on the ballot, and I will continue working with lawmakers so that we can put in place the best education policy for our kids."
