I've wondered that myself.The most heavily populated (and fastest growing) part of the state,the southeast,is only about 30 miles from Boston and,therefore,is basically considered to be a Boston suburb.As a result Boston TV and radio stations run many ads for NH races during election season.These ads,including the ones by Rats,often mention "the New Hampshire promise" which seems to be a "no sales tax,no income tax" pledge.The fact that Rats take this pledge (or claim to,at least) suggests to me that even those who vote Rat for President and Congress don't want the same state taxes that most states have.And many of the voters,as I said,come from Massachusetts...one of the most heavily taxed states in the nation.
Well, there are laws yet to be passed.
One thing that really struck me when I was stationed at Otis AFB...
Every single road construction site, even something as simple as a telephone pole replacement, had to have a rent-a-cop assigned to it. What a waste of cash and policemen! I’m sure the cops love the overtime! In every other state I’ve been to, the traffic keeping role was assigned to a member of the crew who has a Stop/Slow sign.
But I’m still tempted to think that those Mass people will eventually want some service that is going to need serious money and the New Hampshire government won’t be able to provide it without raising more revenue.
