The summary of the Democrat's election message... Don’t tax you, Don’t tax me, Tax that fellow behind the tree. So pragmatically it means.. Increase business taxes Creation of an income tax Creation of a sales tax Increase gaming taxes Kick kids out of the Ed choice program Spend more state tax dollars and hope your property taxes go down. So to quote Winston Churchill which also seems to summarize the Democratic tax policy "a Country trying to tax a nation into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."

Just ask a Democrat they will tell you, NH Republican leadership in Concord is destroying the NH.. except.. facts don't prove that out. State Year-to-date revenues as of this morning. (and they can't use the onetime amnesty program monies to say .. that isn't real.) Listed below. 17% above projections. Last year we ended the year $189m above plan, and here we are, getting ready to end the 1st quarter of this year's budget, and we are 17% above plan and $96m above this same time last year.

And we have the 1st in the Nation Presidential Primary, except Dems want to take that away, but we won't let them.. it's happening, here in January 2028! Anyway, one party is proud of our states accomplishments, wants to keep the progress we made and continue moving forward, the other thinks the state is falling apart. Just listen to the campaign messaging, also ask the question, where is the $ coming from for the $1.75b in New spending you want.

A NH Sales tax and Income tax, yes it is on the ballot for November. Last term I introduced a CACR12 (NH Constitutional amendment) to permanently prohibit a NH Income tax, universally Democrats opposed it, saying while we don't want an income tax, "we want to keep the tool in the tool belt" Well here it is, a Leading Democrat put in a LSR (Legislative Service Request) to have bill language drafted to implement a statewide Income and Sales taxes No.. no.. no.. As the Chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Cmte (Taxation Policy Cmte) please send me back to Concord So I can Kill this bill.

"Some people are lucky enough to be born in NH, others are smart enough to move to NH." - @GovChrisSununu I was lucky enough to have parents who were smart enough to move here in 1973 when I was 9 yrs old. What's your favorite place in NH?

This is probably the simplest summary of Hb1300 and the ballot question in November: "The question would ask voters to cap school budgets to the rate of inflation plus new construction, to cap school administrative budget increases to six percent of the district’s budget, and to exclude capital costs from the calculations." This isn't really a tax reduction question, it's a spending containment question, so taxes don't continue to grow at unsustainable rates. As I have said before 'Taxation is a direct result of spending. Control spending, and you control taxation.' now that's easier said than done, and requires hard tough decisions. You can still spend more, as long as the growth is there to support it Anyway my .02¢. Photo for attention and amusement. – at Concord, NH

Last month of state revenue reporting, so we have an unaudited full yrs of revenues to talk about. So where are we? A FYI as you look at these numbers, projected revenues already have a growth factor built into them, as decided on by the Ways and Means Cmtes of both bodies, so when we talk revenue, any revenue surplus talked about here, is in ADDITION to the growth factors built in to the revenue projections. Short version is we are $182.3m above our revenue projections for the year. Since revenues are split between the 'General Fund' and the 'Education Trust Fund' those splits look like the GF is roughly $87.3m in the black for revenues, while the Education Trust Fund is $100.6m in the black for revenues. A big caveat to that number, in the budget I put in the tax amnesty program to encourage back tax payments to be cleared up. We only projected for that program to raise $5m because we have a new tax software in the DRA and because it was done in 2015 and only raises $15m. Anyway, it raised $103m, so that's $98m over projections in ONE Time monies so that source cannot be counted on in future years. BUT that leaves roughly $84m in revenue growth for the State, beyond the planned (some growth was already built into the revenue projections). Lottery is doing overall well, however due to supply chain issues in getting the VLT (slot) machines, the general fund revenue is $28.7m behind projections, and the ETF is $9.2m from that revenue source specifically. However in Gross (All revenue from lottery) lottery revenue we are up $20m to the black over projections. Fish and Game exceeded revenue projections by $.5m The dark spot in our revenues continues to be our liquor revenues, where, year to date, we are roughly $15m behind projections. Take away message is we have business growth above already projected growth, and that is a great thing for NH! Anyway, if you have any questions feel free to either comment below or message me.

Had a meeting in the StateHouse with the Commissioner Scott, of the NH Dept of Environmental Services to try and work through a permit issue for a constituent in Gilford, today. A big part of my job as a Senator is constituent service. I appreciate Department Heads who want to get to a yes for our NH Citizens. Sometimes it means the Agency needs to move a little, some times it means the Citizen needs to move a little, most times it means both have to move a little to find a reasonable compromise. I help make that happen when I can, yet again, sometimes the answer is still no. Reasonable, respectful dialogue is always in order. Also Virginia Turner Drew did a great job decorating the State House for the 250th birthday of AMERICA! – at Concord, NH

So how are NH State revenues doing? Great! $104.8m above projections, with 10 more reporting days left, so that # will go up I will say we dropped the ball in considering the refunds for overpayments requiring refunds relative to the I&D tax repeal. That being said.. killing it.. ! Some of that surplus money has already been spent in off budget appropriations approved by the Joint a fiscal Cmte, on items like overtime at the prison system (staffing shortfalls, the YDC settlement fund, and judicial indigent defense and others.

Senator Lang confirms Open Enrollment families will continue to attend current schools CONCORD, NH: Sen. Tim Lang (R-Sanbornton) issued the following statement regarding Open Enrollment students remaining in their current school until graduation: “I will continue to work to expand choices for parents to find the best education for their children.” “Current law guarantees that students attending an Open Enrollment school may continue to go there through graduation regardless of any cap set by the district in which they live. I’m disappointed that school districts have voted to cut off options for students seeking a better education, but no school district has the right to kick a student using Open Enrollment out of the school their family had already chosen.” Background: RSA 194-D:3 II. (a) A school district which has adopted any provisions of RSA 194-D may rescind its action or modify the limitations imposed in the manner described in paragraph I. (b) If a majority of those voting vote to rescind the provisions of RSA 194-D or to reduce the percentages of pupils eligible to attend open enrollment schools, then as of July 1 next: (1) If the percentage of pupils eligible for tuition to attend open enrollment schools in other districts is reduced, a resident pupil enrolled at a school outside the district shall continue to be eligible for tuition for the period necessary to complete the highest grade level offered by the school.

All signed up for my 6th term in the Legislature, 3rd term in the State Senate. My press Release: SENATOR TIM LANG ANNOUNCES RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN FOR NH SENATE DISTRICT 2 Lakes Region Senator Says New Hampshire Families Need Relief From Rising Costs and Higher Taxes CONCORD — State Senator Tim Lang (R-Sanbornton) today officially filed for re-election to represent New Hampshire Senate District 2, pledging to continue fighting to keep New Hampshire affordable, fiscally responsible, and accountable to taxpayers. District 2 includes the Lakes Region communities of Ashland, Belmont, Campton, Center Harbor, Gilford, Holderness, Laconia, Meredith, New Hampton, Sanbornton, Sandwich, and Thornton. “Serving the people of the Lakes Region has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Lang said. “But the job isn’t finished. Families are getting crushed by rising costs, higher property taxes, and an economy that feels harder and harder for regular people to keep up with. I’m running for re-election because New Hampshire is worth fighting for.” As Chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, and member of Senate Finance Committee, Lang has been one of the Senate’s leading voices for fiscal discipline and protecting the New Hampshire Advantage. “We cannot allow New Hampshire to become Massachusetts North,” Lang said. “People are leaving other states because they’re tired of high taxes, out-of-control spending, and government making life harder instead of easier. In New Hampshire, we do things differently — and I intend to keep it that way.” During his time in office, Lang has focused on lowering costs for working families, supporting small businesses, expanding workforce opportunities, strengthening public safety, advocating for victims of child abuse, and protecting the Lakes Region economy that depends heavily on tourism, hospitality, and local employers. Lang has also become known in Concord for his accessibility and direct approach to constituent service. “I don’t believe this job is about titles or politics,” Lang said. “If someone has a problem, they deserve to be able to call their Senator and actually get a response. Whether people agree with me or not, I’ve always tried to be accessible, straightforward, and willing to listen. That’s how I was raised, and that’s how I’ll continue to serve.” Lang was first elected to the New Hampshire Senate in 2022. He currently serves as Senate Majority Whip, Chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, Vice Chairman of the Election Law and Municipal Affairs Committee, and as a member of the Senate Finance Committee. Senator Timothy “Tim” Lang Sr. represents New Hampshire Senate District 2. A former police officer, town moderator, and small-business owner, Lang now works as a managing IT professional in the live entertainment industry. @NHSenateGOP @NHGOP – at Concord, NH

Summary of the history of Memorial Day: Memorial Day is a federal holiday dedicated to honoring and mourning U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces. Originally called "Decoration Day" to commemorate Civil War soldiers, it was later expanded to honor the fallen from all American wars. The Origins: Decoration Day: The tradition of decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags began in the years immediately following the Civil War. The Earliest Observance: Research suggests the earliest recorded observance was held on May 1, 1865, in Charleston, South Carolina. Freed enslaved people gathered to honor fallen Union troops by singing patriotic songs, strewing flowers, and giving them a proper burial. Official Proclamation: On May 5, 1868, General John A. Logan, leader of the Grand Army of the Republic (an organization of Union veterans), proclaimed May 30 as Decoration Day. The date was chosen because springtime flowers would be in bloom across the country. Arlington National Cemetery: The first large observance took place on May 30, 1868, at Arlington National Cemetery, where participants decorated the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers. Evolution to Memorial Day As the nation became involved in subsequent global conflicts, the holiday's meaning evolved.Expanded Meaning: After World War I, the holiday expanded from honoring only Civil War casualties to remembering all American military personnel who died in any war. Federal Designation: The name "Memorial Day" became more common after World War II, but was not officially adopted as the federal name by Congress until 1967. Uniform Monday Holiday Act: In 1968, Congress passed a law moving the observance of Memorial Day from the traditional May 30 to the last Monday in May to create a three-day weekend for federal workers. This change officially went into effect in 1971. Symbols and Observances To truly grasp the significance of Memorial Day, many Americans engage in specific commemorative traditions and observe moments of national reflection. National Moment of Remembrance: Established by an act of Congress, Americans are asked to pause for one minute wherever they are at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day to honor the fallen. Red Poppies: Inspired by the famous World War I poem "In Flanders Fields," red poppies are worn and displayed as a symbol of remembrance and respect for those who died in service. Veterans Day vs. Memorial Day: While Memorial Day specifically honors those who died in military service, Veterans Day (November 11) is dedicated to celebrating the service of all U.S. military – at Boscawen, NH
