Budget Chaos in Context: Fiscal Lessons Learned for a Challenging Future
State Representative Dan Wolf and attorney Brad Cook invite you to a cocktail reception with The Concord Coalition as it marks its 25th anniversary by looking at fiscal lessons learned the past quarter-century and how those lessons apply to the major policy challenges of the next 25 years.
While the political and economic landscapes have changed, one thing remains the same: our fiscal trajectory is unsustainable.
Concord’s Executive Director, Robert Bixby, and New England Regional Director, Chase Hagaman, will discuss current and future fiscal trends and challenges and share what Concord has been doing in New Hampshire in its push to engage citizens on these vital issues.
Whether you know Concord well, or are unfamiliar with its efforts, this reception will update you on the organization’s work and the need for a more productive fiscal policy conversation at the national level.
Concord was co-founded by former U.S. Senator for New Hampshire, Warren B. Rudman.

Chase Hagaman, New England regional director for The Concord Coalition, will be presenting on the need for generationally minded fiscal policy in Washington to Nashua Rotary Club members on Monday, July 10.
Exeter – Non-partisan agencies, such as the Congressional Budget Office and the Government Accountability Office, warn that the Federal budget is on an unsustainable path. And while political leaders continue to turn a blind-eye to the need for long-term fiscal policy reform, the federal debt grows closer to $20 trillion.
Recently proposed tax and spending plans run the risk of compounding existing budget shortfalls, moving the needle in the wrong direction. For the sake of current and future generations, political leaders and citizens must act with fiscal responsibility in mind.
To educate the public about what’s at stake, the Rockingham County Democrats are sponsoring a talk by Paul Hodes, former Congressman from New Hampshire’s Second District, and Chase Hagaman, Regional Director of the Concord Coalition. Their talk will be this Wednesday, July 5, at 7:00 pm at the Exeter Inn (Daniel Webster Room), 90 Front Street, Exeter, NH.
Hon. Paul W. Hodes served two terms in Congress (2007-2011). A graduate of Dartmouth College and Boston College Law School, Hodes is President of a not-for profit political advocacy organization, an attorney, consultant to businesses and not-for profit institutions and a musician.
Chase A. Hagaman is the New England regional director of The Concord Coalition. Hagaman, a resident of New Hampshire, organizes public education events, performs media outreach and engages volunteers in Concord's fiscal responsibility efforts. He is a licensed attorney, having received his law degree from the University of New Hampshire after getting a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of South Florida. The Concord Coalition is a non-partisan grassroots organization that advocates for generationally minded fiscal policy in Washington.
