Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - 5 Million Dollar Moultonboro Rec Center Proposal

fatlazyless · 01-01-2008, 07:51 PM

Ask anyone in Moultonboro, and they will tell you that Meredith was always just an old asbestos shingle & Annalee doll type of a town that just happened to be on the waterfront. Looking down those long thin Moultonboro, pinched, Yankee noses, they were aghast when Meredith put up a three million dollar community center. I can hear their selectboard now,,,if Meredith can afford a 3mil center then, M-boro can certainly afford a 5mil center, and that's that!.

Maybe they can hire Judd Gregg to play the Powerball? I hear he is tight with Selectwoman Betsey Patten.

................

Don't know if M-Boro is an SB-2 town or not......if no, maybe the Meredith SB-2 thread is worth a read.

Probably, by the time an SB-2 petition gets passed, it's after the horse has run away, and the police-fire-school-library-community center has already been built. All these facilities are excellent community services but it's paying for everything with their property tax that is killing some people.

I do not know too much about the Meredith Community Center and how many adults-children use it and for what so I will not make any dopey comments about the baby sitting classes, an adult, in-door, badmitton league, the indoor rock climbing wall, or the community center on-site, person-in-charge who gets the super town health care package that I pay for with my $700./month property taxes, which in turn, means my health insurance is zero. Fortunately, I am healthy as a horse, and just as dumb!
................

Here's a newly proposed house bill to think about from yesterday's Union Leader.

Rep James Kennedy D-Exeter has a bill that would do the following.

8% cap on property tax

repeal interest & dividend tax

3.5% income tax
exempt $22,000 for single taxpayer
exempt additional $22,000 for single parent or married couple
............................

Rep Kennedy says it would capture a billion dollars a year loss from residents of Maine, Massachusetts & Vermont who work in New Hampshire but pay taxes in their native state.
.............................

How would this bill effect you?

How does your Moultonboro State Representative, NH State Board of Assessors Chair-person, & Moultonboro Select-person Betsey Patten think about it?

I myself think it's a terrific plan and especially like the 8% tax cap, the two $22,000 exemptions, and the billion dollar tax capture. What it does is it places a tax on those with a better abiliy to pay a tax, as opposed to the property tax.

Probably for many people across New Hampshire, this tax plan would be a real advantage. Please ask yourself, would it be one for you?
