Guv Do-Nuthin’s way too busy to answer questions. Don’t they realize, he’s got, you know, “stuff” to do?

Gov Lynch

Our friends at the NH Advantage Coalition (NHAC) tell us that

Governor Lynch raised spending by 17.5% (1/2 of a billion dollars) during this last budget cycle. This spike in spending caused NH government to fall into a huge budget deficit crisis. The ramifications of this irresponsible spending triggered the need for kneejerk cuts, bonded borrowing from our children’s future, taxes and then some more taxes. Despite the hard lessons to be learned from not keeping spending in check, currently Governor Lynch continues to avoid taking NHAC’s Defending the New Hampshire Advantage Pledge. In addition, he has repeatedly  refused to discuss our spending cap proposals when asked about their merits from his constituents.

Here he is dodging the question:

 

You can see him giving the same "not-so artful dodge" a week ago if you click here. As you can see by these short videos, Governor Do-Nothin’ Lynch seemingly has no interest in the subject of capping spending (like that was a surprise…) Again, writes the NHAC,

As of Monday, over seventy current office holders and candidates have signed the pledge to defend the New Hampshire Advantage. Later this week and periodically thereafter, the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition will be releasing the names of those who are serious about keeping New Hampshire from having to institute a broad based tax.

 “In addition to placing spending caps on local ballots this November, the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition will be very active in educating  voters on just who is willing to pledge to defend the New Hampshire Advantage. I find it unfortunate given the current budget crisis that we are facing,  that Governor Lynch neither feels the need to sign our pledge, nor discuss our spending cap proposals.” said Mike Biundo, NHAC Chairman.

Geez, Mike. You’re tough! After all, he signed the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), thus raising our energy costs, hiked the minimum wage, potentially causing more unemployment, and strengthened laws against child predators- a really brave position to take. What more do you want?      Embarassed
