This bill threatens to pull funding from schools for paperwork deadlines, which no one should support.

I oppose SB 643 because it is a direct assault on the tradition of local control in New Hampshire. By restricting how towns can fund their own essential services, this bill strips power away from the voters who actually live in the community and understand its unique needs. Decisions about our local infrastructure and safety should be made at our own Town Meetings, not by a one-size-fits-all mandate from Concord. OPPOSE SB 586

This is an unneeded administrative mandate that carries a significant fiscal note at a time of budgetary constraints. Vote “Inexpedient to Legislate”. Respectfully, Rep. Janet Lucas Grafton Co. District 7
