In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted
“Issuing a long-term bond for any operating expense is fiscally irresponsible and a really bad idea.”
“Bonding is only appropriate for capital investment. We cannot be putting future taxpayers on the hook for present day expenses.”
“It is fiscally irresponsible to fund a recurring expense with debt. The State of New Hampshire is underfunding public eduction by $500 jmillion every year.…”
