What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Claims have surfaced suggesting that Senate Democrats are attempting to influence New Hampshire policy while simultaneously pushing for increased spending. According to one report, Senate Democrats voted against significant funding requests for cities and towns, including annual allocations of over $1 billion for public education and $140 million for cities and towns. The group also claims that leading Democrats supported a state homeowner surcharge tax that could add $1,800 to median home costs on top of local property taxes.
