My situation is somewhat similar. Three years ago, my Meredith prop taxes were $2800 and now they are $10,000 per year. And this is for a little bit under a quarter acre with 55' of waterfront. Similarly, looking at the town, county, school and state school services that I actually use......you know the story.

I notice that Fergus Cullen, the new politcal leader for the NH Republican party, has backed off from promoting 'the New Hampshire advantage' because he says that after the November election this is just not working anymore. Sen Judd 'easy-money' Gregg calls the Republican Party the 'party of purpose,' and that 'we must maintain no income or sales tax.' Senator Gregg says "We are a party of purpose, and must remain that way." Yes, very good Senator Gregg, its' purpose is to have a tax system where you personally win 800+ thousand dollars in the Powerball and owe ZERO in NH TAXES while a poor schmoo like me gets property tax-socked and pays for all these very necessary government services, which however I do not personally use. Yes, this is the 'purpose' of the NH Republican Party.
