Getting back on topic here, my post above from the Laconia Daily Sun about the increasing cost of county nursing home care is a large and looming issue. It's probably one of those issues that people just role their eyes, and let it go, because it is too much to deal with and beyond one's control

What's happening, in my opinion, is that the State can no longer keep up with county nursing home expenses so it is trying to shift the expense over to the local property tax, and it is succeeding.

This is a complicated issue. You know who is a real first class expert on this issue? It is Senator Cathy Sgambatti (D) Tilton. She looks out for the local resident-home owner-property tax payer in a way that did not exist before with the prior occupant. There is a whole world of differance between Senator Sgambatti and the former occupant of the Laconia senate district, and for this, all us struggling property tax payers should be very thankfull.

People just roll their eyes over these big issues like county-state nursing homes because it's hard to understand, but you'll know it when you get the bigger tax bills.
