Taxes

Give It Back

From this morning’s Union Leader; the Legislature is looking at an insurance premium tax change.  Apparently someone was granted decreases in exchange for a promise of creating more jobs.  Jobs were not created to their satisfaction so the elected officials see no reason to continue to support the reduced taxation.   Neal Kurk (R-Weare) was quoted …

No Gambling

In the smoldering ruin of SB 489–this years gambling bill, even after a massive campaign by Millennium gaming and its big-money FixItNow NH campaign quarter-backed by their Public relations goo-roo Richard Killion, (whom I suspect is this guy), we get comments like this, from this morning’s Union Leader. “What’s clear is that today’s vote runs …

When I did my micro-interview with Jeanie Forrester, I mentioned NJ Gov. Chris Christie (R) who recently knocked off former Corzine (D) in a recent election.  I am following Christie as he is absolutely right on this issue – "When you are out of money and in a big money pit, you have to cut …
