In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted
“It is so important to strengthen the energy supply for New Hampshire residents, and make it more economical.”
“The use of revolving funds would prudently put important municipal energy investments within financial reach.”
“This bill will help our energy committee to effectively address energy issues and education in our town. Thank you!”
“Municipalities don't need another way to establish capital reserve funds; no need to put funds in the hands of, or funnel funds to a party other than the municipality destined to a CR fund. Let the Town and its voters establish CR accounts.”
