The latest on New Hampshire’s move to public funding is here.
Commissioners devised several ways to raise $2.97 million to $5.57 million each year to support a full program, which would offer matching funds to qualifying candidates who decided to opt into the voluntary system. But overall, that amount of money would not be enough considering the commission’s work shows the system costing between $6.4 million to $8.6 million annually, depending on participation rates. That means some state funding likely would be required to support a more complete system.
