Chris Sununu while oering dierent blueprints for tackling some of New Hampshire’s biggest issues at an online forum this week. Feltes – the state Senate majority leader om Concord who has taken the decades-old pledge to veto a state sales or income tax – said during the Thursday night forum that “I don’t support a broad-based income tax. I know that some folks do.” That was an indirect jab at Volinsky, a fellow Concord Democrat who represents District 2 on the state’s ‹ve-member Executive Council. Volinsky has refused to take the pledge, arguing that no options should be taken o the table. Feltes pointed to the “concrete results” of last year’s budget, which he said was the “most progressive budget in state history with the greatest public school education funding in state history.” Feltes shouldn’t feel too proud, Volinsky noted. New Hampshire remains “50th in the nation for state support of public education even under this progressive budget.
