Today, Dec 6, is the first day that the new NH house & senate meet in Concord, I think, and there's some new tax info on the horizon. Looking at the NH papers,
www.citizen.com and
www.unionleader.com, there's two new tax items.
A group of clergymen in Manchester are starting a campaign to cast doubt and dislike and disbelieval for the almighty New Hampshire Advantage, yikes....good grief, and these men of the cloth seem to think it's really just a tax dodge for people who earn mnore than 100k/year while the little guys are overpaying the state's taxes. Oh no! Say that's not true! Who'd-a- ever thunk that?
A brand new state rep, James Kennedy of Exeter, an electrician who works in Massachusetts is proposing a 3% income tax with exemptions for the first 13/26k for single/married, or something like that. He says "I might become just a one term state rep, but I think this needs to be addressed because the current NH property tax sysytem is wacking too many people the wrong way, or something! (roughly paraphrased)"
If anyone wants to send an email to their local state rep, it's easy to do. Just google NH house representatives for their email links and let those reps know how much you appreciate their time and effort in running this state.
