Paying your taxes is patriotic. I think I’ve heard that somewhere. But Democrat Kary Jencks, who just squeaked out a win in a selectman’s race in New Boston, isn’t. Their last property tax bill is three-plus months late and now includes interest due and a late fee.

How Long After Vermont Passes Suicide Tourism Will it Tax The Practice?
If you pay attention to Democrat majorities, it won’t take long to realize something. There’s never enough revenue – no such thing as enough. Every stream shall be tapped, which got me thinking. Vermont doesn’t currently tax medical services, but it is about to pass suicide tourism.

NH v. VT – A Tale of Two Political Cultures One Red and One Blue
Vermont’s legislature is working out the final details of Gov. Scott’s proposed 8.4 Billion dollar budget. Eight billion. That’s over 12,957.00 dollars for every man, woman, and child in the state. Guess how much New Hampshire’s is?
What Kind of Parent?
There’s a question that should be asked more often, which gets at the moral foundations of treating education as an entitlement. Suppose you own several properties in a town. You have two kids, who are being schooled at the expense of the town, which costs the town more than $500,000 over the course of two … Read more
IRS: “If You Steal Property, You Must Report Its (Fair Market Value) In the Year You Steal It, …
The IRS (THEIRS) has rules for everything, including your legal obligation to report property you have stolen as taxable income. Yes, you read that right. Thieves are required to report the fair market value of what they pilfer.
Belknap County Delegation – “We’re suffering the consequences of inexperience in county delegation”
At a recent meeting of the Tri-County Republicans, I learned that if Harry Bean, a State Representative from Gilford and Chair of the Belknap County Delegation, does not post three public meetings for the delegation (state reps from Belknap County), taxpayers are in danger of a 35% increase in county taxes.
Belknap County Delegation – Chair Harry Bean Leads Republicans to Vote to Raise your County Taxes by 35.4%
Yep, that’s right. Instead of doing the right things by the right process (e.g., not properly noticing the Budget meetings, not making the proper motions, seconds, and votes on changing line item amounts, trying to circumvent NH’s Right To Know Law) that tainted / despoiled their work (look what happens when you try to cut … Read more
South Carolina’s Proposed ‘Yankee Tax’ Looks Hinkey to Me …
Republicans in South Carolina (SC) have proposed a bill that adds $250.00 to the cost of vehicle registrations for people who move to the state. They claim it is meant to cover infrastructure costs (wear and tear), but I’m calling BS.
Our Education System is a Failed State
Our education system is costing more and producing less every year. In my small town, the Tax Rate is $24.75 / thousand, with Education accounting for $18.00. That is 73% of every tax dollar earmarked for schools giving us lower test scores yearly.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From Tuesday’s House Session (02/14/23)?
We learned that attendance is everything this term. You can’t win if you don’t have the numbers. All eyes are on the whip! We learned that the Speaker of the House voted more today than he did in total in the past 2 years! There’s probably a Speaker vote record being made!
Vermonters Encouraged to Support Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery … You Mean Republicans, Right?
Vermont has a lot of things we don’t have here in New Hampshire. They’ve got a State income tax. They’ve also got a majority Democrat legislature, and yes, those two things are related.
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – #22 – Raising taxes: Whose money is it anyways? Whose money is it FIRST?
What is WRONG with the Left in trying to excuse any of their tax increases by simply stating “it’s for the common good” and “what’s fair”? And we go “How MUCH is fair?”. And we never get an answer – well, except for one person.
New Hampshire House Leaders Introduce Tax Reduction Legislation

Another Democrat Bill Placing an Unfunded Mandate on School Districts – Food
Oh, Skip, you’re such a meany – how can you take food out of the mouths of babes in school yards! You want them to go hungry and starve while in school? They can’t learn that way? You know, there was a recent piece on WMUR’s news that Police need more Constitutional training when at … Read more
Tom Brady, Taxes, and Kiké
When it was obvious that Tom Brady was leaving the New England Patriots, I predicted he’d become a Los Angeles Charger. That team needed a quarterback and had just moved to L.A. where it would play in the world’s greatest new football stadium.
Why Didn’t Nashua Make the Cut?
NO intelligent person in Nashua, which did NOT benefit from the advertised tax relief for New Hampshire towns, should be supporting His Excellency, Chris Sununu.
Just When You Think It Can’t Get Worse, It Does
I had to check three times, as I didn’t believe the scores could go any lower. Drumroll, please. I guess a new 9 million dollar school and 7 or 8 (lost count) tax cap overrides in ten years for the school budget does not improve education.
Massachusetts Helps New Hampshire Widen Its Advantage
Yesterday I mentioned Vermont and its habit of making New Hampshire more desirable but let’s not forget Massachusetts, a leader in advancing the New Hampshire Advantage. Effective January first, it is enforcing a new tax on millionaires that could benefit the Granite State.
