Lets see Schools, Marine Patrol, and Fish and Game, and those are just the government programs that are mentioned here.....I am not sure NH is doing a "pretty good job" but let me further back things up.....

It is not NH's fault that your property values have skyrocketed.
No it is not NH's fault that prices have skyrocketed. What is crazy here though is this. As the prices have skyrocketed Tax rates have remained constant. Now if X * Y = Z and all though Y (tax rate) stays constant, if X (property value) gets larger, then Z (Tax income) gets larger. Having said that even if the only thing that has changed is property value the math shows the state is getting more money, so why are there funding issues......POOR MANAGEMENT.....not just at the state level but at the local level as well.......
