Chandler Statement on 2018 Legislative Initiatives

Speaker Gene Chandler issued the following statement following Gov. Sununu’s press conference this morning during which he outlined his initiatives for the upcoming legislative session.

“The House is looking forward to continuing our legislative successes of the past session in working closely with Gov. Sununu. Today House and Senate leadership joined the governor in committing to making New Hampshire even more competitive within the New England economy by creating jobs, scaling back on stifling regulations, and ensuring that any new legislation will not impede New Hampshire business from being successful. Our focus will also be on lowering the state’s high energy costs, modernizing our laws to ensure that our citizens have the protections they deserve, advancing policies that will achieve education excellence, and continuing to battle the opioid crisis. I applaud the governor for being proactive in these important areas and I look forward to working with him in the coming session.”
