Nashua Mayor Donchess Is Crying “Wolf!” about Property Taxes
In a September 20, 2020 Board of Aldermen meeting, the mayor and the Aldermen were discussing a Pilot Program for Pennichuck Water. The agenda and/or the actual Pilot Program did not mention the amount of money that the program would cost Nashua taxpayers however it did mention:
Taxes Pay For Civilization? No, Bruce, They Don’t!
I think that DCE over at Weekend Pundit has the right in regard to Bruce Currie’s constant wailing that “taxes pay for civilization.” Hardly. What it really does is, and let me emphasize it, is that –
The Business and Industry Association Supports Critical Race Theory – Why the Heck is the NH-GOP Cutting Their Taxes?
So … the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire, essentially New Hamshire’s chamber of commerce, wants employers to be able to force employees to undergo Critical Race Theory reeducation. While there are many posts on this blog that you can refer to in order to understand Critical Race Theory, for your ease of reference: … Read more
We Need to Fight Back Against Corporatism, and Corporatarians and Corporatists.
Last weekend, more than 100 corporate leaders … from companies such as United Airlines, American Airlines, AMC Theaters, Levi Strauss … met to discuss how to coordinate their opposition to State voter integrity laws. If you think this was a “one-off,” think again. As Ned Ryun recently explained in American Greatness: One reason we have … Read more
So Kids, What Did We Learn From Friday’s NH House Session (04/09/21)?
We learned that it took us a full day from 9:00 am to 6:30 pm to get through 33 House bills. All were recommended by their committee as Ought To Pass (OTP) by their respective committees, except for the last 3 bills that were recommended as Inexpedient To Legislate (ITL) by their respective committees.
New Hampshire Has One of the Lowest Overall Tax Burdens in the Nation (Again!)
The New Hampshire House just cut some taxes. Whether the Senate and governor will concur remains to be seen, but while we wait, chew on this. Despite having a high property tax burden, the Granite State has one of the lowest overall tax burdens in the nation (again).
Keeping Nashua Residents in the Dark
This is how the City of Nashua’s mayor wants transparency but in reality, the mayor is stealing money from the taxpayers’ to pay off for his Downtown Master Plan. Remember the Nashua mayor is only interested in downtown.
So Kids… What Did We Learn From Wednesday’s House Session (4/7/21)?
We learned that Wednesday was House Budget Day. The NH House spent the better part of Wednesday passing a budget that kept Republican campaign promises. We passed HB1 and HB2, the budget bill and trailer bill, which effectively utilized tax dollars, and cut back government spending while cutting taxes.
Data Point – Federal Debt Held by Public 1900-2051
Inflation is the short way to say “sacrificing the dollar”. It is Government’s way, via monetary policies, to pay existing debt with dollars that are worth less later.
21 State Attorneys General Question Federal Overreach in Democrat “Rescue Bill” – NH is Not One of Them
One of the rotten Easter eggs buried in the 1.9 trillion-dollar Degenerate Democrat Spending Bailout bill (The American Rescue Plan Act) is a provision that could be interpreted to grant the Feds extortion power over tax cuts at the state level.
Rhode Island Advances Bill to Make NH Even More Popular for Tourists and Job Creators
If we can keep Democrats from ruining the Granite State, we’re in great shape for years to come. Every state around us has gone full-stupid (or close to it), punishing their residents with higher taxes and regulations. Add to that their epic cash grab disguised as a “climate” gas tax, and you can stick a fork in them.
The City of Nashua’s Mayor is Deceitful
The City of Nashua’s mayor is deceitful. He states that the City of Nashua is the most transparent city in New Hampshire, which is simply not true.
Connecticut Lies to the People as it Lobbys for Another Economy Killing Gas Tax
The Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) is a scam. Elected officials pass off taxing power to a board that then pumps hard-working Americans for cash laundered into state coffers. States looking to fill budget shortfalls pretend that money is for “Clean Transportation” but that’s a lie too.
Biden Wants to Bail Out Failure
There is almost no evidence lockdowns, business closures, stay at home orders and other strategies have reduced the infection rates or death rates from the virus. Think about this. The” open” state of Florida has had a lower death rate, adjusted for the age distribution of the population, than “closed” states of California and New York.
Belknap County Delegation Sets a Good Example
Everyone realizes that the China virus can make people very sick or die, but some people fail to consider its financial harm to tens of millions of Americans from lost jobs, greatly reduced incomes, and/or the failures of their businesses. Some workers and business owners in Belknap County have also suffered severe financial harm.
I Wasn’t Expecting This Sort of BS From the Rebooted Parler – But Here It Is!
Yesterday I got a warning from Parler. No, not Facebook, or Twitter, Parler. Over what? I was surprised. I shared yesterday’s news about Sununu and Donchess. Sununu is cutting spending and taxes as a form of COVID19 mandate relief, he says. The Nashua Mayor, a Democrat, says that means he’ll have to raise taxes. Democrats don’t cut spending, and how did that get me flagged?
Gov Sununu Proposes Tax and Spending Cuts – Nashua Mayor Says He’ll Have to Raise Taxes
We predicted this from the earliest days of the government-imposed reductions in tax revenue (‘cuz COVID19). Democrats would slaughter their tax base with restrictions then punish taxpayers afterward by raising taxes. Republicans might cut spending to offset the pain they caused.
School Funding: Lower Taxes, Same Student Achievement
If you had the Triangle of Light (from Tomb Raider), you could just go back in time to 1998, the year of the Claremont II decision. You don’t have that, but you have something almost as good — a filing cabinet.
‘Your money should follow my child’
A chant that has been gaining popularity is that where education is concerned, ‘the money should follow the child’. A second, related chant is that ‘parents should be able to decide how to spend their education dollars’.
