Horn goes after Hodes on tax bill

Believing that the “Big Mo” is on her side, 2nd District Congressional candidate Jennifer Horn is taking swings at the Democratic incumbent, U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord), for his opposition of a bill aimed at preventing tax hikes in next year’s state budget.

"Because Paul Hodes refused to stand up yesterday, New Hampshire families will now have a much greater tax burden,” Horn, a Republican, said in a statement.

Citing the timeliness of yesterday’s tax-related deliberation, Horn said, “Paul Hodes' vote, especially on April 15th of all days, indicates a complete disregard for the citizens across the district.”

Horn, a former radio talk show host and Nashua Telegrpah reporter faces a crowded GOP field that includes state Sen. Bob Clegg, former talk-radio host Grant Bosse, and businessman Jim Steiner.
