| Governor John Lynch's Inaugural Address (State of the State)
Finance
Governor is zero-basing every department budget - requiring every department to justify every penny they spend, starting from zero. In February he will present this budget to the legislature. Governor will veto an income or sales tax.
It's time for a fresh approach to education funding - an approach that allows us to once again focus on improving quality, directs more state aid to the communities that need it the most, and eliminates the statewide property tax and donor towns.
I will present such a school-funding plan and I will work with all of you for a fair and lasting solution. I do not care who gets the credit, and neither do the people of New Hampshire. They just want this solved. And it is up to all of us to live up to that responsibility -- this year.
Improving public education is the best long-term strategy for strengthening our economy.
