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. Tuesday Morning, at a 10:00 a.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.

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.
