Almost every new "proposed" tax has been tagged somewhere in the promotional literature as "property tax relief". To me, and I may be wrong here, but property tax relief implies lowering property taxes. No new tax has ever resulted in a lowering of an existing tax.... EVER!

NH's tax structure isn't all that retirement friendly on paper.... however you could fool me!! Just look at the number of over 55 communities planned or in discussion around the lakes region.

I do sympathize with those who are feeling a bit squeezed out by the tax structure. The problem is supply and demand and I don't think its going to change...
