City of Concord Squanders Taxpayer Dollars

Concord, NH – House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R-Auburn) and Deputy House Majority Leader Joe Sweeney (R-Salem) released the following statement as the city of Concord prepares to spend taxpayer funds on a DEI “consultant.”

“At a time when Concord residents are struggling with rising property taxes, the City of Concord is choosing to squander tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money on a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ‘consultant’ with a history of questionable business practices. If you’re wondering why property taxes keep rising, consider the costly programs pushed by Democrats to support their allies’ divisive social initiatives. How many more of these snake oil salesmen are we paying for?” Said Majority Leader Jason Osborne.

“It is astonishing that the city would entrust taxpayer dollars to someone who openly admits his focus is on profit rather than expertise,” said Deputy Majority Leader Joe Sweeney, “the people of Concord deserve better, and it is shameful that the city has chosen to prioritize pyramid schemes, con-men and fraudsters over it’s taxpayers.” said Sweeney.
