From the Concord Monitor article:
“I do my best not to be a typical liberal, but in this instance I think that we do have to address a situation where these homes are left empty and people are not contributing back to the communities in which they are residing in,” Wheeler told the House Ways and Means Committee on Monday, “at the same time while the people who spend 365 days out of the year are having to be priced out.”
From the NPR article:
“You have the right to keep your property out of rent, but, in a housing crisis, you don’t have the right to keep it out of the rental market without paying something back to the state, because you are actively harming the state,” said Democratic Rep. Ellen Read of Newmarket, the lead sponsor of this bill.
This sounds like one of those spoof articles in the Laconia Daily Sun on April Fools Day.
