Whenever you are sitting with ‘friends,” talking about what you could do to help create jobs and improve the economy in New Hampshire, I bet one of the first things you think of is instituting the highest beer tax in all of New England, right?
Well if you happen to be a New Hampshire Democrat that is exactly what you do.
HB 168 …would increase the excise tax on any beer that’s sold in New Hampshire to 40 cents per gallon, a 33% increase.
CBS Boston reports (WBZ) that this would surpass Maine’s 35 cents per gallon, making New Hampshire’s tax the highest in New England.
