How about those property taxes?

Seems lots of towns with lake front property think they have an endless well of cash to spend. Take Moultonboro for example. Anything anyone wants in town goes thru. New Muncipal building, followed by new Public Safety building, followed by a new Library, the next thing will be a new highway garage, followed by more and more and more...

Government needs to scale BACK.. too many programs. Give the taxpayers a break. What all these property taxes will bring is the errant thought that if we had broad based taxes (such as income or sales), the property taxes would go away.... Think again. Ever see taxes disappear? sure they may go down for a year, but then they somehow spring right back...
