New Hampshire’s Budget Awaits Court Battle
The New Hampshire budget that was recently passed on the backs, or should I say wallets, of the taxpayers may be in a little trouble. In order for the governor to balance the budget he has attempted to steal $110 million from a program run by the Joint Underwriting Association that provides cut-rate malpractice insurance for doctors.
There is one little problem with the governor’s sly little plan. The JUA is in the midst of a lawsuit and the money can not be touched until the lawsuit is settled. The Joint Underwriting Association is not part of the executive branch of the state government; it is a separate entity and as such Governor Lynch may never get his greedily little paws on this $110 million.
Mine, mine, mine, all mine
That is more than a little problem for the governor, who was relying on stealing $65 million from the agency to balace last year’s bloated, irresponsible budget that ends on Tuesday as well as using another $45 million to balance next year’s budget.
As the court battle rages on, New Hampshire is left with a $100 million hole in the budget and no way to pay for it. The one thing that I was willing to say about John Lynch that was positive was that he is a smart man and a great business man. I now have to question his wisdom in trying to balance a budget with money that was unavailable. He doesn’t sound like such a smart man now.
Governor Lynch made himself a millionaire in business, but he runs the state as if he has never run a business before. Watching the way he has bankrupt the state I have to wonder how he ever made it in the business world. Maybe that is why he got out and joined politics in the first place.

Maybe I missed it in your article, but I don’t understand how he can legally take money from this organization? What am I not understanding here?

I haven’t figured that out yet. The article that I read didn’t say if that was what the court case was about. Seems illegal to me.

Why does it seem that the blue state are those having the most problems with their budgets. Could it Obama and his gang learn something here? Of course, the answer is no, they have set coarse for the eye of the storm.

Blue states just never understand that the spending is the proble. Perhaps their true goal is to bankrupt the states and force more people to live off of the government.
