NH State Senate Votes To End Democrat Paint Tax

From Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire

(May 1, 2014)- Today, the New Hampshire State Senate took up House Bill 1570. This legislation, which was passed by the State House in March by a vote of 161-142, would have created a sales tax on paint ranging from 35 cents per pint to $1.60 on anything over a gallon. Supposedly, the revenue would be used for a “paint stewardship program” for unused paint.

The State Senate defeated the amendment proposed by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee with a bipartisan vote of 16 to 7. The State Senate then moved a motion declaring the bill inexpedient to legislate, which passed with a voice vote.

So I guess they were lucid today.
