BUDGET (HB2) UPDATE
DOGS sent a letter to the House Finance Committee opposing the changes to RSA 437 contained in HB 2. One of our members attended and testified at the public hearing on HB2. Hopefully, the House Finance Committee has listened to our concerns. Meanwhile, please keep those cards and letters coming. And call your local Reps asking that they let the finance committee know they are opposed. Thanks.
