ACTION ALERT!

 

Repeal Cap and Tax for New Hampshire!

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a cap and trade system that has operated in the region for several years. It is nothing more than an invisible broad-based tax—a way for government to extract even more funds from the people to support its largess. Even during this recession, the government has accumulated an additional $28 million! Please attend the public hearing for HB 519 on Thursday, April 28 at 10:00AM in LOB 201-203 to speak in favor of this bill. An executive session may follow, so if you are unable to attend the hearing, contact the Senate Commerce Committee and ask them to vote OTP.
