2022 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Homeland Security


Chris Sununu: Create Veterans Campus for veterans, active military

The Veterans Campus, being proposed for a site in Franklin, is designed to integrate veterans, active military, and their families. A campus that includes housing, supportive services, a retreat center, a true integration of care coordination, therapeutic and recreational services all designed by veterans and military personnel, for veterans and military personnel. Like never before New Hampshire is going to be able to create the gold standard in the health and wellness of America's heroes.

Doug Burgum: Make North Dakota the most military-friendly state

We've worked with lawmakers to exempt military retirement pay from state income tax, because those who serve their country have already paid society's tab. We also extended the exemption to surviving spouses. It helps promote workforce participation. It will help those that have served in the military in North Dakota to choose to perhaps retire here. And it puts us on a path of our goal to make North Dakota the most military-friendly state in the nation.

Asa Hutchinson: In Arkansas we support our military bases and their missions

In Arkansas, we support our military bases and their missions. That is why we worked so hard to bring in the F-35 pilot training mission to Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Fort Smith. This will be an economic boon for Western Arkansas for decades to come.

Mark Gordon: Proud Wyoming remains critical component of nuclear triad

You know, the world has become a decidedly scarier place with China and Russia rattling sabers. Bear in mind, what is happening in the Ukraine is as much about energy as it is about geopolitics and security. The old adage of peace through strength remains true. That is why our nation's nuclear arsenal remains essential. We can be proud that Wyoming will remain a critical component of our nuclear triad.

Henry McMaster: Eliminate all state income taxes on veteran retirement pay

I am calling on the General Assembly to eliminate all state income taxes on the retirement pay of career military veterans and South Carolina law enforcement officers, firefighters, and peace officers. Many states have already done this. The decision-makers at the Department of Defense take note of such actions or inactions when they make decisions on base closures, realignment, and new missions for America's military. Our state's military installations are at risk, like all others.

Michelle Lujan-Grisham: It is time that we build a new veterans home

On the same note, it is time that we build a new veterans home--a state-of-the-art independent assisted-living facility for those who sacrificed to protect our freedoms. The original building on the campus in T or C was built in 1936. I think it's time for an upgrade. So I am calling for 60 million dollars, which we will leverage with an additional $60 million from the federal government, to build the kind of modern facility our veterans, and their families, deserve. We're going to get it done.
