NH State Revenues Continue to Perform Below Expectations

Eleana Colby, NH State Representative @colbyfornh.bsky.social · 17d

The illusion of fiscal responsibility persists. The NH GOP has controlled the Governor’s office, state senate, and state house since 2021. State revenues are in decline, and if the trend continues, NH will be $100 M below estimates for the fiscal year. #NHpolitics

For the third straight month of the 2026 Fiscal Year, New Hampshire revenues are below estimates and below what was produced last fiscal year in the first quarter.

This is the garbage that NHGOP leadership is pushing out.

They are going to use Kirk's murder to destroy public schools and anyone who doesn't agree with them.

They are unhinged, rabid, and have lost their minds.

"Funding cuts are something the state can definitely do something about. It just needs to come up with roughly $230 million on its own." In a commentary from Thomas Lane and Dr. Don Kollisch, the case against "managed care organizations." #NHPolitics

Trump: “If a man has a little fight with the wife they say, ‘this was a crime, see?’”

Every month, more than 70 women are shot and killed by an intimate partner in the US. Easy access to guns fuels this crisis.

Today we will hear from victims of Epstein, representing the untold stories of countless survivors of sexual violence worldwide. Every victim deserves safety, compassion, & justice, free from political posturing, cruel fiscal agendas, & hypocritical politicians. #dobetter #nhpolitics

In New Hampshire, the statistics are deeply troubling, with 1 in 4 women experiencing sexual violence. Yet, the New Hampshire GOP has been obstructing critical legislation aimed at prevention, needlessly slashed essential funding for the Sununu Youth Development Center victims fund, and gutted financial support for mental and reproductive healthcare programs across our state.

Every victim deserves safety, compassion, and justice, free from political posturing, cruel fiscal agendas, and hypocritical grandstanding politicians. #dobetter #nhpolitics #NHdemocrats

The NHGOP will spin this as “a win for NH students”, but it’s nothing more than a windfall for the wealthy.Meanwhile, NH public schools are struggling due to grossly inadequate state funding + millions of federal dollars being withheld. No help in sight for property taxpayers, teachers, or students.

NH House Democratic Caucus @nhhousedems.bsky.social · Jul 7

One week in - “universal” school vouchers already $7,500,000 over budget.

NH Republicans deliberately underestimated the number of wealthy families that would apply for vouchers to hide the true cost, and taxpayers are already paying the price. #NHPolitics

249 years ago, The People boldly stood against tyranny. Refusing to allow cruelty, oppression, and injustice stifle their dreams of prosperity, freedom, & progress. We marched today fueled by that same unwavering passion and patriotism, and we pledge to never back down. #nhpolitics #nhdemocrats

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

With Ayotte’s signature it’s official, the NHGOP has abandoned fiscal conservatism for blatant fiscal favoritism. How can we prepare our communities for the consequences of their reckless cuts to essential services & supports that Granite Staters rely on? We deserve better. #nhpolitics #nhdemocrats

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

The NHGOP can't agree on whether their budget is cruel enough.Their decades long push for tax relief for the wealthy, and insistence adding millions in optional spending for pet projects, has left them arguing over which critical resources they should rip away from the rest of us. #NHPolitics
