NH's Adam Sexton, Political Director, WMUR NEWS 9, reported,
"By wide, bipartisan margins, the House and Senate passed the $12.96 billion deal brokered by the governor and legislative leaders." However, their still was vocal opposition to the proposal."

"The budget was presented, New Hampshire constituents have not had a chance to read it," said Rep. Barbara Comtois, R-Center Barnstead.
But in the end, support for the compromise budget was broadly bipartisan and overwhelming, passing with more than 300 votes in the House and unanimously in the Senate.
"A product that we produced is going to make the lives of the people we represent better," said Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester.
The two-year spending plan includes some big Democratic priorities: $130 million in extra school funding, $40 million in state aid for cities and towns, and an increase in Medicaid provider rates.
In 2019, In Depth NH reported, "Since taking office Chris Sununu has given himself a $22,000 pay raise and plans on getting another $13,000 raise on top of it this year – OPall at taxpayers’ expense." Sanunu however, did not return his pay raise while NH minimum hourly wage still only remains at $7.25.
The state will remain with no established future secured medical facility built, while still leaving patience with mental illness abandoned for another 50 years, leaving the mens state penitentiary as the only state's secured medical facility.
Hospitals still remain incapable to handle up to 30 plus emergency room patients with a continuous shortage of beds, nurses and equipment. Unfortunately, since the NH Family Courts ordered me to have a permanent brain injury at the age of 50, 6 years ago, I have had, and will continue to have plenty experience in these areas. I too have experienced being left on a stretcher in the halls of St. Joseph Hospitals' ER department in Nashua. Not an experience you want when you now bring a child to a NH hospital..
The state supreme court continues to only illlegally redact all state laws to suit their own purposes, simply like the NH Family court Rule 1.25a, that has been illegally imposed on Granite staters now for the past decade and counting, while the state remains with no oversight on judicial justices throughout the state, since president Thomas Jefferson impeached the very first judge that was only from NH in 1803.
Yet the fact still remains that Republicans so called, "held the line on business taxes to set aside $5 million for the rainy day fund", from the state's current negative 5.7 percent surplus, that has now gone from beyond humorous to plain stupidity now proving NH's budget still only remains as hell in a handbasket.
Sexton also reported, "Nobody got everything they wanted, but it's reasonable, and New Hampshire will benefit," said Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro.
Gov. Chris Sununu stood with House and Senate Democratic leaders after the final votes as all sides credited cooperation across the aisle.
"We saw a strong vote on House Bill 3, as well as House Bill 4, and that speaks volumes of the bipartisan support for this agreement," said House Speaker Steve Shurtleff.
"I'm just really proud that, as a team, everyone came together all across the Statehouse, regardless of political affiliation or political party, everyone really came together to make sure that New Hampshire came first, and I think it's a big success and a big win for all of us," Sununu said."
Well actions speak a hell of allot louder than NH's words from the NH Government. Clearly they were not in attendance that day the governor told the world about all the tricks NH has played and apparently still plays for future budgets to come.

Sexton also reported, "The budget includes a provision raising the age to purchase tobacco products and e-cigarettes from 18 to 19 as part of an effort to curb vaping in the high schools."
Well this should be a big help now considering the state already lowered the drinking age to 20 the same year they went ahead and built the largest liquor store in New England, when the state was already braking the alcohol consumption rate by 2 times the national rate!
ONLY IN NH FOLKS, ONLY IN NH!!!
