Crossroads GPS Launches Radio Issue Ad in New Hampshire on Maggie Hassan’s Veto Threat

“Call Governor Hassan. Tell her to support the legislature’s plan for business tax relief.”

WASHINGTON – Today, Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads GPS) announced a new issue ad that highlights Governor Maggie Hassan’s threat to veto the legislature’s plan to cut New Hampshire’s crushing business taxes.

The new spot, which can be heard here, will air on all New Hampshire radio markets for a total buy of over $75,000 starting on Tuesday, June 23 and running for a week.

“New Hampshire’s businesses are struggling under some of the highest income taxes in the nation and it is stifling job growth in the state,” said Ian Prior, communications director for Crossroads GPS. “Governor Maggie Hassan can help by supporting the legislature’s plan for business tax relief – instead she is threatening a veto that could lead to a government shutdown.”

“If you’re a New Hampshire business person, trying to create jobs and opportunity, Governor Maggie Hassan has a message for you: no way, forget about it.”

“Hassan opposes a responsible plan to cut New Hampshire’s crushing taxes on businesses– some of the highest business income taxes in the nation.”

“That’s one reason why job growth in New Hampshire ranks among the country’s worst. We’re falling behind … and instead of fixing it, Governor Hassan is threatening a veto that could lead to a government shutdown.”

“Hassan wants more spending, and high taxes to pay for it. She’s standing in the way of our economic recovery. Vowing to veto a plan that would provide tax relief to New Hampshire businesses, grow jobs and get our economy moving.”

“Call Governor Hassan at 603-271-2121 and tell her to support the legislature’s plan for business tax relief. Because New Hampshire needs the jobs.”
