NH GOP - MAYDAY: Lynch's Call For Higher Taxes
CONCORD – Today Governor John Lynch went before the House Finance Committee and proposed new ways to raise revenue to close the budget deficit, including raising taxes on tobacco, introducing a new tax on poker winnings, and imposing additional costs on businesses that sell alcohol.
“Governor Lynch has a spending problem not a revenue problem,” said Fergus Cullen, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party. “The Lynch budget deficit was created by Lynch and the Democratic leadership increasing spending by 17.5%, not declining revenues or the national economy.”
“Had Governor Lynch shown some political courage and leadership last year by reigning in spending,we would not be in this mess. Though given his record of tax increases, it’s no surprise he’s passing the costs of his runaway spending along to New Hampshire taxpayers and businesses.”
Today’s increases come on top of previous Lynch tax hikes, including raising highway tolls twice (with more increases on the way), raising tobacco taxes twice previously, and increasing the fee on car registrations.

NH GOP - Gov. Lynch Ducks Responsibilty, Again
CONCORD – Testifying before the legislature yesterday, Gov.Lynch attempted to blame New Hampshire’s gaping budget deficit on the national economy.
“Governor Lynch owns the budget deficit, and strong leaders accept responsibility instead of passing blame,” said Fergus Cullen, chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party.
“Gov. Lynch allowed state spending to increase by 17.5 percent or nearly a half a billion dollars last year at a time when lots of people had concerns about a declining housing industry and rising energy prices. The situation called for fiscal restraint and caution, but Gov. Lynch and his Democratic legislature went on a spending spree and adopted rosy revenue forecasts. Today the state has higher revenues than ever before but still faces a budget deficit because of Gov. Lynch’s inability to say no to higher spending. New Hampshire’s budget deficit is Gov.Lynch’s responsibility,” Cullen said.
