[Life Long Dem]

January 27, 2009

CONCORD - Gov. John Lynch today issued an Executive Order creating an Office of Economic Stimulus within the Governor’s Office.

“We want to ensure that New Hampshire and its citizens receive maximum benefits from any federal economic stimulus package, and that those funds are used to create jobs and protect essential services here in New Hampshire. The legislation currently under consideration by Congress places significant time restraints on states to use or lose funds, as well as new reporting requirements,” Gov. Lynch said. “This office will ensure state agencies are coordinating their efforts and that New Hampshire complies with all federal requirements.”
