It sort of seems like New Hampshire is not really so much a state, but more like a collection of self-supporting towns because very little money flows from the state in Concord back out to the individual towns.

So, where is that state money from Concord? ..... ..... like, what money? ..... ..... you know, that state money! .....

Berlin-$36.54 and Northumberland-$35.31 are the two highest, with Claremont being another poor town with a high rate, but not computed, yet.

So's the lowest town is New Castle at 4.73 and I believe New Castle is a real town with real expenses, unlike the few unincorporated civil townships of Success and Green's Grant. So, how does New Castle manage to come in at 4.73? What's happening in New Castle, NH? Oh..... Wikipedia says it is the only NH town located entirely on an island. So, maybe the islands of Bear Island, Pine Island, Mark Island, Three Mile Island and a few others should form their own town and secede from Meredith? What would be a good name for this new town made with about seven different islands? How about 7-Island Town!

Makes perfect sense.
