As a NH entrepreneur, Emily understands the importance of government stepping aside to allow businesses to thrive on their own. Government red tape and burdensome taxes stifle innovation and growth. Emily knows taxes and regulations are often a consequence of reckless spending. With responsible measures put in place, NH should have what every family is expected to maintain: a sensible, “Balanced Budget.”
Emily will not vote to raise taxes nor place senseless restrictions on businesses. She will fight to cut spending and ensure that tax dollars are spent appropriately and carefully. If you think your school taxes went up way too much in the last 8 years here in Bedford, be sure to write - in Emily Louise O’Neill instead of Terry Wolf when you vote.
