Guinta’s Budget Proposal In 2008 Cut
Education Funding By $7.3 Million: In 2008, Guinta put forth a $276 million budget proposal that cut funding for the Manchester school district by $7.3 million from the previous year, a 5% cut. Guinta said the proposed cuts were consistent with the school district's projected losses in revenue. He noted the district had continued to hire new teachers, despite the loss of 1,500 students over the previous four years. "Something is wrong with that math," he said. [Union Leader, 4/1/08]

Criticized by Opponent as “an Imposter,”
Inauthentic on Tax-Fighting. In September of 2005, Jeff Kassel, a third candidate for the mayoral race, criticized Guinta and Baines in an op-ed in The Union-Leader. He said Guinta would “say practically anything to get elected, including making the preposterous claim that he’s a tax fighter. Guinta’s an impostor, pretending to help beleaguered taxpayers while he’s mostly trying to advance his political career and shovel millions at developers.” Kassel said Guinta “voted for every big project in Manchester” and “refused to sign the spending cap referendum” Kassel co-authored when he first asked Guinta, but “finally did so to avoid the suggestion he was an emperor with no tax-fighting clothes.” [Union-Leader, 9/15/05]

The Union-Leader reported that after a campaign promising tax cuts, Guinta said he could not change the property values captured in the following year’s citywide revaluation. “Some property owners, unfortunately, are going to see much higher assessments,” Guinta said. “Those people who see higher-than-expected assessments, that’s something a mayor cannot control.” [Union-Leader, 12/04/05] Guinta Proposed Budget In 2006 That Laid Off Workers And Cut Funding For Manchester Departments: In 2006, Guinta proposed a budget that cut taxes by laying off 13 city workers, maintaining funding for public schools and slashing money to Manchester departments. Specifically his plan called for a 1.23 percent tax decrease, a 2.3 percent cut to city departments, and an increase in school funding of less than 1 percent. Guinta’s budget also called for a hiring freeze, leaving 25 and 40 positions unfilled that were expected to open up that year. [Union Leader, 3/30/06]
Union Leader Noted Problems With Guinta’s
Budget: In 2006 the Union Leader wrote of Guinta’s budget, “The mayor's budget does have holes. Even Alderman Ted Gatsas, Guinta's ally, says the mayor's budget is unworkable and has proposed one of his own instead. There seems to be no way to get to Guinta's proposed 1.23 percent tax cut.” [Union Leader, 6/1/06]
Audit Revealed That A Lack Of Oversight In
Guinta’s Office Led To $23K In Fraudulent Payments. In 2008, The Union-Leader reported that officials in Guinta’s office and several departments “missed key warning signs and over- ridden security measures that might have stopped a city employee from bilking the government of close to $23,000,” according to a recently released audit. The report said a “severe breakdown” in oversight allowed the city’s former grants administrator, Dennis Hebert, to cash thousands of dollars in forged paychecks and to bill for work that was never done. In some cases, officials who should have provided oversight failed to demand proof that the payments were legitimate. At other times, the report said, the Mayor’s Office or the acting finance officer allowed payments to go through even after they were flagged by another official. [Union-Leader, 2/04/08]
“Severe Breakdown” Of Oversight

Ina report about the theft, auditor Kevin Buckley said a "severe breakdown" in oversight allowed Hebert to get away with the thefts for more than a year. The report said city officials in the Mayor's Office and other departments missed key warning signs and failed to demand proof that Hebert's reimbursement claims were legitimate.

Conservative Group Helped Guinta “Evolve”.
Dave Weigel of the Washington Post wrote in June 2010 that, “In the early part of his career, Guinta was more libertarian, voting against parental consent for abortion and endorsing Rudy Giuliani for president. ‘Guinta came into the race with a libertarian streak,’ acknowleged Connie Mackey, president of FRC Action PAC. ‘…It didn't seem at first that gay marriage would be an issue he'd have to look at as a small government libertarian, but he saw what happened when it was forced to a vote in New Hampshire, and he realized that it was an issue.’…According to Mackey, Guinta has assured social conservatives that he's moved closer to their stances on the issues -- Mackey has a letter from Guinta explaining his new views… ‘Candidates evolve,’ said Mackey.” [Washington Post, 6/10/10]
