Jim Forsythe

Laconia Daily Sun: Forsythe kicks-off campaign

Forsythe said that the defining issue of the 2010 state election is whether “we have a revenue problem or a spending problem. He said that Kathy Sgambati of Tilton, the two-term Democratic incumbent incumbent in District 4, has said the state faces a revenue problem, which he called “the wrong answer.”

Fosters: Forsythe Announces Run

In a new release announcing his run, Forsythe said he will “serve the citizens of District 4 with transparency and accountability, bringing new energy and integrity to the race.”

He said his background as a small-business man — he’s a aeronautical engineering consultant — helps him understand the burden excessive taxes and “bureaucratic regulations” place on companies looking to expand and provide jobs.

Testimony on Repeal of LLC Tax

My reaction when I first found out about the “LLC tax” was that I could not think of a better way to kill the prospect of new jobs in NH at a time when this state and in fact the country is faced with record unemployment. The perfect parable to describe this new tax is that of the goose that laid the golden egg.

Foster’s and Union Leader Op-Ed: Sgambati Wrong

Sen Sgambati, in a February commentary disputed the notion that “we do not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.” She pointed to a troubled economy as a reason that we need to spend more, not less. I think she has this completely backward, and I firmly believe that this question will be the central issue of the 2010 election across this nation, and in New Hampshire. We must reduce spending, borrowing, and taxation if we want to put our economy back on track to prosperity.

Fosters: Republicans express confidence

“We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem,” he said, noting 25 percent spending increases in the last two terms. He said, if elected, he will work to cut taxes and bring jobs back to this state.

Forsythe, before Bradley’s speech, also exhorted the importance of the state House of Representatives. The 400 representatives are closest to the people, and as such, are those most critical to making constituents’ voices heard, he said.
