You should also know that this Steve Taylor, commissioner of agriculture, also happens to be a Democrat who would no doubt rejoice if the state became like all its neighbors and had a sales tax and an income tax. Might as well throw in a bottle bill, too, and then we'd be just as effed up as all those around us.
Well I was just shocked that the rural counties voted for Kerry while the Taxachusetts border and lake counties voted for Bush. The whole border with Vermont was 'Rat blue, while 2 out of 3 counties bordering Taxachusetts voted Bush. The escapees from Taxachusetts are not the main problem, but the college students and faculty in Keene, Hanover, Durham, etc help poison the well.
I really like NH, and I'm glad most of my property taxes stay local, and I resent the rural counties wanting equivalent benefits without paying taxes. They've been pushing to pick our pockets on the coast, so let their tax assessment reflect what they need to for taxes to pay for the services they want.
