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.”
In Defense of Wealth Redistribution and Lift Ticket Welfare
Over at True North Reports, the author of the piece I fisked yesterday wasn’t excited about the response he received. Some folks had questions or comments that he felt needed to be clarified. A tariff, a tax, a former president.
Maggie Hassan’s Latest Ad Says She’s Fiscally Responsible – That’s a Big A** Lie.
Maggie Hassan has approved a new “message” with which to interrupt my television viewing. That’s not why, though I’d be flattered. No, the purpose of the ad is to lie about her record on spending and taxes.
Fred Teeboom is taking the City of Nashua back to the Superior Court
Enough is enough! Mr. Fred Teeboom is taking the City of Nashua back to the Superior Court to enforce the Spending Cap correctly. It seems that this year the City of Nashua was creative in adding in grant fund expenses over which the Nashua taxpayers have no control.
The City Of Nashua Gives Tax Free Breaks To Some Residents
The motto of the Department of Revenue for the State of New Hampshire “is to fairly and efficiently administer the tax laws of the State of New Hampshire, collecting the proper amount of taxes due, incurring the least cost to the taxpayers, in a manner that merits the highest degree of public confidence in our integrity.”
Politicians Who Want Gas to Be Expensive to Investigate Why Gas is So Expensive
In Momma’s Broken Heart, Miranda Lambert sings, “Leave it to me to be holdin’ the matches, When the fire trucks show up, and there’s nobody else to blame.” Someone looks guilty, and maybe they’re are or perhaps not, but when it comes to high gas prices, it’s no coincidence.
Language Warning: The Joe Biden Inflation Rap!
I’m not a huge fan of Rap music. And I get that most of it is not written for me. So, it’s cool that other people like it (free country – barely – and all that). I’d rather listen to something else. This, however, speaks to me.
If Constitutional Amendments Are No Longer Absolute, We Can Stop Paying Taxes?
President* Joe Biden has announced that the amendments in the US Constitution are not absolute. Like any good civilian disarmament Democrat, he’d like the government to manage what sort of “weapons” we’ll be allowed to have or use. I want to suggest whatever he left in Afghanistan.
Dover Says “It’s Not a Rain Tax” But Your “Taxes” Will go up Because of the Rain
Remember when NH Democrats said a tax on wages was not an income tax? They got some Freshman stooge to say it out loud, but same difference. A tax on income is an income tax. Democrats in Dover are playing the same game but with rain.
