When out-of-state special interest groups asked me to sign on to a 17 cent per gallon gas tax, meant to subsidize the crumbling infrastructure of other states, I said no.
Let's be honest: the Transportation Climate Initiative would have resulted in little, if any, environmental benefits to the state. I was the first governor to come out against this scheme and since, governors across the Northeast - both Democrats and Republicans - have joined me in standing up to this financial boondoggle.
We don't need other states telling us what's best for New Hampshire. We're already taking substantial steps to curb our carbon emissions and preserve our pristine natural environment - without raising taxes.
Will you pitch in $10 today to help ensure common sense continues to prevail?
