"We recently learned that the state of New Hampshire will have to lower its bond rating because of faltering state revenues. As a result, the state must pay higher interest on the money it borrows to pay for vital investment and social services. This will lead to higher taxes for New Hampshire families. This is just one more example of how New Hampshire families are footing the bill for Bush's irresponsible tax cuts for the rich.

My Job Creation Plan includes a State and Local Tax Rebate Fund that would provide $177 million over two years to New Hampshire, helping alleviate the fiscal distress facing states like New Hampshire without having to increase taxes on hard-working families."
