Didn’t Massachusetts try to sue New Hampshire for sales taxes on tires that were bought in a store near the border?
How large a margin of ‘border overlap’ do these fools think they can impose?
When I lived in NH the state of Massachusetts put a large appliance company out of business by suing them and seizing their assets. Their store was in NH but they had a warehouse in MA and the state decided that they were luring MA residents across the border to sell them appliances and avoid the sales tax.
Yes,that did happen and,as a response,the New Hampshire legislature (controlled by RATS,surprisingly) passed a law forbidding NH businesses to do what MA tried to force them to do (the malls on the border are very important to NH's economy).
And as for border guards,I've read that MA has already tried that.I've read that they have state cops cruising the mall parking lots (in unmarked cars) looking for MA plates.I'm not sure if it's true but I can *absolutely* see them doing it (two of the biggest malls are literally within sight of the state border).I know that they've done that for fireworks....which are legal in NH and illegal in MA.
