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.

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.
