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
Concord, NH- House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R-Auburn), Majority Whip Jeanine Notter (R-Merrimack), and Vice Chair of House Ways and Means John Janigian (R-Salem) released the following statement after public hearings
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.
The Nashua Spending Cap has its Day in Court
On December 7, 2022, Fred Teeboom, a former alderman and self-represented, took the City of Nashua to NH Superior Court for violating Nashua’s spending cap. I had the pleasure of attending part of the hearing.
Sen. Bradley, Please Explain to Me How “You” Lowered Property Taxes
Senator Bradley,
I just watched your 10-minute conversation with Adam Sexton and was taken by a comment you made in the very last minute:
“as we have done in lowering property taxes…”
The First Thing Dems Will Do If They Win Next Week is Raise Your Taxes – So, Stop Them!
One of the devils in those details of Democrat policy is that taxpayers get both edges of the sword. The policy-driven cost increase hits first (as you’ve seen for months now), followed by the inevitable rise in taxes because those same forces make government cost more.
The Destructive Legacy of the Federal Taxing Power
How many people stop to consider if there are any restrictions on what or how the federal government can tax? Does the Constitution for the United States allow the federal government to tax anything it wants, whenever it wants, and in any way that it wants?
It’s a Tax Stupid
It’s really simple. The democrats on the left love to take our money and spend it. There are two ways the government can acquire money to spend. They can tax you or print it.
“Fair share” Goes Both Ways
Whenever I hear that someone needs to pay his “fair share” in taxes, it always means “more.” Nobody ever says, “You are actually paying more than your fair share–you deserve a tax break!” Similarly, nobody I know ever pays more than the amount demanded by the town government. How can this be?
Hey, This Democrat Nit-Wit Sounds Just like Former NH State Rep Cynthia Chase (as in “Let’s Make Life Harder for Our Residents!”)
Ok, perhaps a bit of a stretch, but stick with me here. NH State Rep Cynthia Chase’s utterances concerning the Free State Project movers to NH (below) made it up to the Rush Limbaugh show years ago when Steve wrote about her. This video clip isn’t the Democrat herself but her Republican rival simply quoting/commenting … Read more
Gilford Democrat Lisa Dimartino Is Campaigning as a Moderate but She’s Really Not
Lisa Dimartino wants to portray herself as a moderate politician, but as I have been saying, Democrats are going to be taking advantage of the utter chaos that the Democrat Political Action Committee, Citizens for Belknap (CoB), was causing.
How Maggie Hassan Used Legislative Gymnastics To Pretend She Was Against New Taxes
First, credit to the Washington Free Beacon for the information and my headline, which is a localized version of theirs. The article, titled “How Vulnerable Dems Used Legislative Gymnastics To Pretend They Were Against New Taxes,” is about Hassan and the lengths she’ll go to look fiscally moderate.
Crowning Achievement or Final Nail in the Coffin
You cannot make this stuff up. These were two consecutive sentences from Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) on FOX News Sunday. We are going to completely pay for the Inflation Reduction Act by raising taxes on companies with revenues over $1 Billion and on wealthy Americans who have been able to avoid paying taxes to this … Read more
Gunstock Mountain Resort – An RSA 91:A Demand – Payment of Taxes Information
I sent a new RSA 91:A (“Right To Know”) demand to Commissioners Doug Lambert (also of DGFIndustrial) and Jade Wood (also NH GOP Area 5 Vice Chair) concerning any taxes that a public Company must pay to the State of NH on a regular basis: —— Original Message —— From: “Skip” <Skip@granitegrok.com> To: “Doug Lambert” … Read more
The Prophetic Anti-Federalist Warnings About Constitutional Taxing Power
In June 1794 the United States Congress passed a tax on the ownership of carriages. The tax called for a levy, “Upon all carriages for the conveyance of persons, which shall be kept by or for any person for his or her own use, or to be let out to hire or for the conveyance of passengers, the several duties and rates following.”
