CLEGG RELEASES STATEMENT ON HOUSE BUDGET

Bob Clegg: Congress Has Forgotten The American Family

Concord, NH – 2nd Congressional District Candidate Bob Clegg released the following statement on last night’s vote on the House Budget:

 “NH Congressman Hodes voted with democrat leaders to deliver a $3 trillion dollar budget. Working families in NH need tax relief in light of rising gas prices, home heating oil at an all time high and rising interest rates making mortgagesnear impossible to pay. Paul Hodes assisted his leaders in revoking the tax incentives meant to stimulate job growth which will likely contribute to further job losses in this country.  “Hodes promised to fight for the New Hampshire family in Washington, but instead he is spending our children and grandchildren’s' future. Maybe Paul Hodes needs to focus less on baseball and more on his constituents that sent him to Washington.”
