Yes, as a new source of income maybe Meredith should hire Judd Gregg to buy Powerball tickets for the town.

For years and years, the local NH property tax system worked well because the prop tax was relatively low. Well, it is not so low anymore and property tax payers are getting stressed. Witness the big Democratic win in the last election.

How about mandatory $33.33 purchases at the Rt 93 state liquor stores for all vehicles otherwise they get routed onto the old Daniel Webster highway or a tax on leaves that fall off trees. For every fallen leaf, you must pay the local town two cents. Yes, it's the two-cent leaf tax and it will bail out the whole state......just my opinion.......two-cents!

Question of the day. If a municipality like Meredith were to actually play the Powerball with municipal money with their intention to fund their local government, would their winning be exempt from federal taxes? I do not know the answer.
