Skip took some time to fisk a letter to the Concord Monitor in which someone named John Andrews complains about the high property taxes in New Hampshire. He notes that across the border in Maine, he’d be paying a lot less in property taxes.

So what do they do in response? Spend millions of dollars of out-of-state money to push more gun control.
