I am here today to express our staunch opposition to the non-germane amendment to SB 54 which would require providing all public school students firearms safety training at all grade levels as part of their public education. We have many concerns about this proposed legislation as educators, parents, grandparents, and Granite State citizens.

On behalf of our members and the people we serve, I am here to express my opposition to portions of the House passed budget HB1 and HB 2. It is said that budgets are a statement of priorities. That is especially true in times when revenues are scarce. For that reason alone, priorities must remain laser focused on meeting the state’s constitutional duties and providing assistance to those who most need it.

Another week just concluded where the actions under the State House dome are increasingly isolated from what people in Granite State cities and towns actually want. It makes you wonder, who does the extremist majority in this legislature think they are representing?

This week marked the crossover point in the legislative session. Bills that have passed the House now go to the Senate for a hearing and bills that have passed the Senate move onto the House for a hearing. It gives us a second chance to use our voices to try to stop awful policies, improve bad ones and, try to pass good ones.
