In this week’s segment, host Jeff Chidester welcomes regular guest, NH State Senator Dan Innis, for a broad discussion covering state economic indicators, local fiscal policy, and national discourse.

The conversation opens with a look at New Hampshire’s latest financial health, referencing NH Journal’s reporting on the state’s surging tax returns. Highlighting recent revenue figures that exceeded state projections, the segment highlights how supply-side tax policies continue to yield strong returns.

As the NH Journal report notes, state revenues grew well above projections, driven largely by strong business tax receipts and low unemployment figures that continue to reinforce the Granite State’s fiscal standing.

Turning to local policy, Senator Innis reflects on a recent citizen forum he attended, focusing on the debate over the local Property Tax Cap ballot initiative. He outlines key arguments from the forum, weighing municipal flexibility against the need for taxpayer protections and predictable local spending.

The segment wraps up with a brief reflection on broader cultural dynamics, as Chidester and Senator Innis comment on the surrounding media reaction and public discourse regarding the ongoing story at Cornell University, critiquing what they characterized as a “mob mentality” response in national media coverage.
