Today, Governor Chris Sununu received the Cato Institute’s top grade in their 15th biennial fiscal report card on America’s Governors. The Cato Institute releases rankings every two years grading America’s governors for fiscal responsibility. This year, Governor Chris Sununu earned the distinction of being America’s top Governor for fiscal responsibility.
“It is an honor to receive the Cato Institute’s top grade this year,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “Through hard work, fiscal responsibility, and smart decisions, New Hampshire is an economic powerhouse. Our pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda is working for New Hampshire families — and we’re just getting started.”
“Runaway government spending is the economic issue of our time — and, in fact, the moral issue of our time due to the looming impact on future generations,” said Cato CEO Peter Goettler. “We’re thankful that some leaders, like Governor Sununu, continue to take fiscal rectitude seriously. We applaud his aspiration for New Hampshire “to be everything Washington isn’t.”
“New Hampshire is a small state, but it is an important symbol of good government and sound fiscal management,” said Cato Director of Tax Policy Studies Chris Edwards. “Other states should look to the New Hampshire model and to Governor Sununu’s fiscal leadership.”
