New Hampshire policy, followed through to the outcome.
Bill
A bill to restore a 7.5 percent state contribution toward employer pension costs for teachers, police officers and firefighters.
A cost the state stops carrying does not stop existing. What the record supports is a fiscal-capacity argument, not a one-to-one claim that every dollar of forgone state revenue became a dollar of property tax.
A comparison of two decisions by the representative for Sullivan County District 7: a bill that would have moved $28 million of pension cost off local property taxes, and an expansion of state education spending to $51.6 million.
