New Hampshire Taxes?

[songkrai]

Moultonborough is slated to be a "Donor Town" (again). So your property tax will partially be going to fund other towns school costs. If this goes through as stated your real estate taxes in Moultonborough will have to go up. I don't have figures in front of me but some have stated that the cost per pupil is the highest or near highest in the state in Moultonborough. Statistics can be manipulated. IE: Some count the cost to bus children to school while others do not count this as a school cost. Some state that Moultonborough has one of the highest administrative costs for any school district. But let others chime in on the specifics.

It looks as though Moultonboro has once again dodged the donor town bullet. The legislature recently approved funding that does not include receiving money from donor towns.

Comments about M'boro high cost schools is exactly what I have been told by people who have studied the numbers. Average cost per student is around $20,000 which if not the highest in the state is close to it. It seems that very little effort has been made to contain expenses even though enrollment is dropping. I believe the teachers contract is up for renewal and there will no doubt be demands for more money and greater benefits.

Lets see, you get to be a

Donor taxpayer

in a Donor Town

in a Donor State

in a Donor Country.

And be accused of not paying enough taxes.

I was told today by a town official that donor town status will be put off for at least 2 years. It would have amounted to ~ $1.40 per thousand so if your house was assessed at say 100k you would have paid an additional $ 140

Sounds good to me.
