HB 1707 to Double property taxes

[tummyman]

This bill was originally created by a new 23 year old legislator from Peterborough who's claim was that government was of, by, and for corporations, not of, by, for the people and he wants to change that. Also claimed on his website that "People opened up about how they were being priced out of the home their family built, and how they wanted to ensure they could make sure it was there for the next generation." Huh??? So the strategy appears to be....screw the folks that are non residents and price only them out of their legacy property. Since the non residents cannot vote, he and his co-sponsors are safe. Glad better minds will toss this out, but don't be surprised to see it come back again. Also points out how this forum can be such a helpful resource to identify potential legislation that could adversely impact folks. And it also points out that people need to get their opinions out there to the legislators.
