Attached to this post is the 2008 tax burden by state.
VT is 8th and NH is 46th on the list for tax burden.
VT is 22nd and NH is 10th on the list for income per capita.
FLL - you're welcome to explore the cost per pupil, social programs, and other expenditures that VT has vs. what NH spends on. They raise more money and spend more money, is the short of it. Perhaps the $20K engine was purchased because it wasn't
well planned for, but that's just an assumption...
