On February 13, Gov. Kelly Ayotte provided her budget proposal to the state Legislature. She promised to prioritize funding for special education and law enforcement, but also promised roughly $150 million in budget cuts. Meanwhile, President Trump is overhauling federal funding, which makes up roughly one-third of New Hampshire’s budget. Now it’s up to the state Legislature to sort through competing priorities and uncertain revenue, and draft a final budget for the Granite State.
