Hello Second Curve, no I do not think either the state or the town employees are abusing our system.....I never said that....and do not think that. The government employees of NH seem to be hard-working and happy with their jobs and have pretty good attitudes. The police around here are all very professional and you will not get stopped for a driving violation if you do not deserve one.

My problem is that the property tax is carrying too much of a burden and for the town, school, state school and county it is the only source of revenue. This problem is effecting more NH residents as they see their prop tax rise and people in places like Orford, Hopkinton, & Brentwood who previously had relatively low prop taxes now have a 'view tax.

As long as the big prop tax bills were addressed to the waterfront, it was ok, but now it is spreading to places like Bow, Pennecook, & Concord.

Up till now, proposing an income tax was like a 13000 volt third rail, down in the subway. No NH politician ever wanted to go near it....
