NHGOP STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR HASSAN SIGNING THE GAS TAX Concord - New Hampshire Republican State Committee Chairman Jennifer Horn today released the following statement on Governor Hassan signing an increase in New Hampshires gas tax into law: Today, Governor Hassan burdened the middle class and hurt small businesses in New Hampshire by signing the gas tax into law. A gas tax hike during challenging economic times is wrong for New Hampshire, and it will unfairly burden the middle class and hurt small businesses. Democrat Governor John Lynch was right when he vigorously opposed a gas tax increase and said that the state needs to do a better job managing its existing funds instead of trying to take more money out of the pockets of working families. By supporting this tax increase Governor Maggie Hassan continues to prove that she is no John Lynch, and that she is out of touch with New Hampshires fiscally responsible values. BACKGROUND Democratic Governor John Lynch opposed an increase in the gas tax: Before we consider the need for additional revenue - which I dont think is there - we need to manage the funds that we have today, which we are not doing well, he said in a meeting with editors from The Citizen and Fosters Daily Democrat (Lynch Vows To Fight Gas Tax, Laconia Citizen, 8/30/2007) nhgop.org/news/nhgop-statement-on-governor-hassan-signing-the-gas-tax
