State of state not much resistance Rev projections off Dip in rainy day fund _ sen odell says no Potential cuts - Constitutional amendment hoping it will pass Lou and Odell want it STATE OF THE STATE Lynch to warn of tight budget times ahead nmljhm CONCORD, N.H. - With the stock market in turmoil and growing fears of a national recession, New Hampshire's governor will call for belt-tightening as he delivers his annual State of the State address today. Gov. John Lynch already has told lawmakers he will oppose any legislation calling for new spending unless it's an emergency. For starters, he is trying to find $50 million in cuts and budget adjustments for the last six months of this fiscal year. In addition to being tough on spending, look for the governor to continue advocating programs that are tough on crime, especially crimes against children. Lynch also should be expected to list accomplishments led by Democrats from the last year, including changes in health care, job training and tax credits to foster research and development. CONCORD, N.H. - Some Republicans say Governor John Lynch laid down a rule today against more state spending and broke it, all in the same speech. In his State of the State address, Lynch said he will not support additional spending, unless it's an emergency, and also proposed a tax credit to encourage businesses to create jobs in the North Country. Republican Neal Kurk said he was surprised the governor said he won't accept new spending, while proposing a subsidy for the North Country. Lynch's office said the credit would be against future potential revenue. |
