New Hampshire House Finance Committee Budget Hearings

New Hampshire House Finance Committee Budget Hearings

The House Finance Committee has scheduled five hearings on the budget across the state so that citizens, community leaders, community members, advocates, professionals, and organization representatives can appear before the committee to comment on the budget.

This is the first time in over 25 years that the House Finance Committee has taken its hearings on the road, opening up the process to those who cannot make it to Concord . The Finance Committee will be recording the hearings so that they may be streamed on the General Court Web site.

“If you breathe the air, drink the water, drive on a road, run a business, go to school, or enjoy the scenery, the budget affects the quality of your life,” said Rep. Bernard Benn, House Finance Committee Vice-Chair. “The budget impacts all of us, and we want to make sure everyone has a say.”

Everyone is invited to attend, whether to listen or to speak to the committee. The hearings are scheduled as follows:
