My Turn: A five-point plan for a healthy state budget
Published: 12/19/2020 6:10:14 AM
During challenging times like these, the smartest, most enduring investment New Hampshire can make is in the health and wellness of its people. Ensuring the well-being of all Granite Staters will yield profits to our society that are far greater than the price tag.
The return is a New Hampshire whose children, families, adults, and communities are healthy, safe, and resilient now and far into the future.
This coming legislative session our lawmakers will be tasked with developing the next state budget. The budget will cover the next two years, but its impact on the state will last much longer. Proper investments in the health and wellness of the Granite State by the Legislature is the only thing that can help New Hampshire recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing substance use and mental health crises, and begin to undo the harms of systemic racism on our public health system.
