Probate Court Ballot Question
Vote YES on One!
Question 1: Are you in favor of eliminating the office of Register of Probate?
The Hillsborough County Democratic Committee (HCDC) recommends a YES vote on Question 1.
A "Yes" vote supports eliminating the position and removing all mentions of it from the New Hampshire Constitution.
This question can be viewed as a housekeeping measure to remove a position from the state constitution that is now obsolete.
The Register of Probate historically handled simple wills and estates. However, after a 2011 state court reorganization, the state court system stripped or transferred almost all of this office's official duties.
Currently, the position carries no operational responsibilities, yet it still pays an annual salary and remains in the state constitution.
Bipartisan consensus: The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in the state legislature (325–15 in the House and 23–1 in the Senate).
School Budget Cap Ballot Question
Vote NO on Two!
Question 2: The question is seeking to cap public school budget growth at the rate of inflation, requiring program cuts whenever actual operating costs rise faster.
HCDC strongly recommends a NO vote on Question 2.
The Merrimack County Superior Court has allowed a ballot question imposing statewide school budget caps to remain on the November ballot. An emergency appeal to the NH Supreme Court was also denied.
Importantly, neither court ruled that the proposal is constitutional. That question remains contested.
Many New Hampshire communities already rejected local budget-cap proposals at Town Meeting. Under Question 2, as Majority Leader Jason Osborne put it, “the state will step in and cap local taxes for them.” What happened to local control?
Representative Eileen Kelly’s August 23 essay makes the case that this ballot question is unconstitutional, deceptive, and confusing.
What happens if it passes?
Although legal challenges are likely, this LINK from the AFT Facebook page lays out examples of what might need to be cut if budgets are capped.
