In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“It is my opinion this bill will create a better balance between business and a healthy environment. A for profit business should never be allowed to destroy and disrupt the environment and our small communities, fit their gains.…”
— Margaret Parenteau, Whitefieldsupports
“Creating a moratorium on issuing any new landfill permits until 2030 makes sense for NH. NH land has a much higher value than welcoming in out of state trash.…”
— Abby Evankow, Gorhamsupports
“Brought up in Bethlehem, NH and returning yearly for the past 45 years I feel very strongly that we must maintain and protect New Hampshire's natural environment. NHs greatest resource is its natural beauty. Thank you for your service and consideration, John Meisse”
