Governor Sununu, We, the Undersigned
Governor Sununu, We, the undersigned Democrats in the New Hampshire House, implore you to immediately issue a “stay-at-home” order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. As our hospitals and the mayors of our largest cities have noted, every day that passes without a stay- at-home directive brings exponential growth to the health risks faced by Granite Staters, and unsustainable pressure on New Hampshire’s healthcare services which will lead to unnecessary loss of life. As you have acknowledged, we likely remain far from the peak of COVID-19 infections in New Hampshire. Many of us own or work at small businesses and understand that ordering non-essential businesses to close is a drastic step that will exacerbate the disruption COVID-19 has already brought to everyday life. However, as we have seen in other countries and other states, taking decisive action will slow the spread of the virus, save lives and allow our economy to rebound stronger and faster. The steps we have taken so far, which include telling people to keep their social gatherings to under 10 people, are simply not enough. Monday’s announcement of the first death from COVID-19 in New Hampshire emphasizes the urgency in our communities to take decisive steps to combat this deadly virus. Closing non- essential businesses and ordering people to stay at home are bold steps critical to that effort. Please join the states across America, including our neighbors Massachusetts and Vermont, that have taken these critical steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

AFSC-NH State House Watch, June 14
AFSC‐NH State House Watch, June 14 2013 Issue 23 Budget Negotiators Named Now that the House and Senate have each passed their versions of a state budget, the next phase of negotiations begins with the formation of the committee of conference. This week, House Speaker Terie Norelli and Senate President Peter Bragdon named the following members for the committee of conference for HB 1 (the main budget bill) and HB 2 (the budget trailer bill): Representatives Cindy Rosenwald, Susan Almy, Dan Eaton, and Neal Kurk, and Senators Chuck Morse, Bob Odell, Jeanie Forrester, and Lou D’Allesandro. Representative Mary Jane Wallner will chair the committee. Expressing her hopes for this next part of the process, Speaker Norelli said, “As we move into the committee of conference phase of the budget, we are fortunate to have a great team of legislators working to ensure we restore investments in our state and communities.” The folks at the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute have put together a helpful, brief analysis of the Senate budget that also explains the differences between the House and Senate budgets. From their summary: Of course, while the House and Senate may arrive at destinations that are fairly close to one another, the paths they follow to get there are quite different. The House would generate close to $50 million over the next two years by setting the cigarette tax rate at $1.98 per pack and by suspending several business tax cuts. The Senate would forego those options and instead carve out a new exemption for tipped wages under the Business Enterprise Tax.
