Leading grassroots organizations representing thousands of Granite Staters issued a joint statement today with quotes from volunteers and members from across the state on how the Senate Republican budget is a reckless plan that deepens inequality and puts the interests of the wealthy and well-connected ahead of working families.

Hundreds turn out in the rain to speak out against Gov. Ayotte and Republican budget which further rigs the economy for the rich and corporate interests.

Five leading grassroots organizations representing thousands of Granite Staters issued a joint condemnation today of the House Republican budget, calling it a reckless plan that deepens inequality and sells out working families to protect the wealthy and powerful.

Late Thursday night, House Republicans scheduled a single, last-minute budget hearing for next Wednesday, giving Granite Staters barely any time to participate.

Today, Governor Ayotte delivered her budget address emphasizing a need to “recalibrate” after nearly a decade of irresponsible Republican leadership that has prioritized tax breaks and handouts for the wealthiest.
