Hearings on universal school vouchers are coming up in the New Hampshire legislature. What an irresponsible thing to do in light of the giant hole we have in our education budget. Let your state rep know you are opposed. #NHPolitics

Stop Universal School Vouchers (HB 115) | DemocracyNH

The first full week of hearings at the NH House begins with one of the most significant education bills of the year, universal school vouchers.

I received an email asking me to support the expanded school voucher program in NH. I don't support it for a lot of reasons, and the sender is not a direct constituent. But I still chose to reply, focusing on the financial impact it has, including driving property tax hikes. #NHpolitics

Email to a constituent:

I’ve reviewed HB115, both in the context of the State’s constitutional obligation to provide education and in the context of the financial impact to citizens. On both faces it is a losing proposition.

First, the financial consideration: You’ve certainly noticed the increase in your property tax bill over the past few years ($10,780 in 2022, $11,686 in 2023, $12,908 in 2024). A large portion of that increase is tied to the shift in allocation of state funds for education. Put another way, the State has chosen to pull money out of the public school system, forcing municipalities to make up the difference. That gets passed along to you and every other property owner as a tax hike.

In my conversations with constituents over the past campaign season the cost of living was the absolute number one priority, and local taxes are driving that burden. I cannot in good conscience vote for a bill that further shifts the burden of educational funding via increased local taxes.

And then there’s the State’s obligation to provide education. For decades now the State government has shirked its constitutional duty. This has been decided in the courts, yet the State continues to fail. HB115 furthers this by shifting even more money away from the public education system with no plans to backfill it.

I have a duty to uphold the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, and I cannot support a bill that undermines that obligation.

Public education funding in NH is completely inequitable due to the unequal access of funds by districts. Universal vouchers are being heard 1/16 at 1pm and is just a tax subsidy for wealthy families sending their kids to private school. www.gencourt.state.nh.us/house/sche….…

The irresponsible cuts to state taxes are resulting in dangerously high property taxes. Why dangerous? Our NH elderly who lived the American Dream - buying a house, raising a family, working & paying their fair share - cannot afford these taxes along with drug costs, heat, FOOD! #NHPolitics

Feeling property tax bill sticker shock? Blame the past 4 years of Republican downshifting. Make no mistake, NH House Democrats will fight for a state budget that protects our critical services and does not shift more of the cost to our local property taxpayers, again. #NHPolitics

#NHPolitics Interesting fact. Fusion Voting is permitted in New Hampshire... sort of. A candidate who wins as a write in can appear on more than one party ticket. This could actually make a local or even regional third party possible. Need to do more thinking on this one.

Supporters of “fusion voting,” which allows a candidate to represent more than one political party on the ballot, say it could help strengthen minor parties and end political divisiveness. Opponents say maintaining the ban prevents “ballot manipulation.”

#NHPolitics Okay so I just finished the preliminary for the State House Races and I still have to double check everything. That said over all Dems won by 2% even though in fact they hold 44.5% of the seats. Dems should have a 5 seat majority in the house.

I am going to bed. I am not 7 counties in and so far half of all votes for State House have been Dem and half GOP. Yet the GOP is more than half the seats in the counties I have crunched. The data doesn't lie. Someone is playing games with districting.

I am starting to suspect that along with a general problem with the Dem party that conservatives might also be playing silly buggers with the districts. Can't prove anything yet but it's a hunch.
