Press Release: Budget Showdown Update
Concord, NH — In a crucial development, New Hampshire’s Executive Council, led by Chair Chris Sununu, announced a tentative agreement on the state budget ahead of Thursday’s anticipated showdown. The discussions, which have been ongoing, focused on critical funding allocations amidst varied proposals from both parties.
Governor Chris Sununu expressed optimism regarding the bipartisan nature of the negotiations, citing shared goals to enhance public services while maintaining fiscal responsibility. The proposed budget aims to bolster education, healthcare, and infrastructure without imposing additional tax burdens on residents.

The Democratic Party has raised alarms about maintaining essential programs, emphasizing the need for a budget that reflects the priorities of all New Hampshire citizens.
As we approach the final vote, the framework includes key investments in mental health services, education funding, and support for local communities. Sununu’s administration is pushing for swift approval to ensure these initiatives are implemented promptly.
With pressures mounting and public opinion divided, the Executive Council’s decision will set the stage for New Hampshire’s financial landscape for the coming years. Stakeholders are urged to stay informed as the situation unfolds, ensuring that the voices of all residents are heard in this critical budget debate.
