Please take this information into consideration if you are voting in a local NH town election in the upcoming weeks. Get the information for your municipality. It is the tendency for local level governments to chant that they have no financial stability. In my view most likely, that is NOT THE CASE.

All below financial information has been compiled using the Plodzik & Sanderson Independent Audit Report as of December 31, 2022, for the Town of Hampton, NH.

2022-Hampton-Audit (hamptonnh.gov)

Total Assets - $70,225,000, which includes cash of $35,500,000 and investments of $25,200,000.

The balance of Governmental funds - $48,556,000

Long-term liabilities - $69,100,000, which includes bonds and notes of $30,700,000, unfunded pension liabilities of $28,500,000, and Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) of $6,900,000. NOTES: (1) There was $5,900,000 in additions to the unfunded pension liability in 2022. (2) The state of NH used to make a significant contribution to this expense for NH cities and towns, that is no longer the case.
