  New Hampshire has historically avoided broad-based income and sales taxes by relying on a patchwork of narrower taxes and user fees. Recently, the legislature has cut many of the business taxes and repealed the interest and dividends tax entirely. This has led to questions about the sustainability of state revenues and the over reliance on local property taxes. The answer is not broad-based income taxes but responsible, fair, and equitable tax policy.

  Funding for public education, particularly the adequacy grants, have not kept up with general inflation let alone the cost of education our children. Although the nominal dollars have increased, adjusted for inflation, the money the state provides to local schools in significantly below what it should be. This is both in terms of the base adequacy grant and total contribution per student. Moreover, much of the money that the state claims as part of its share of education funding come from the Statewide Education Property Tax (SWEPT), which is just another local property tax.

  Zoning is just a piece of the solution to the housing crisis. It's important to recognize that when it comes to zoning laws, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. What may work in one community may cause serious harm to another. Thoughtful, deliberate legislation can help alleviate the crisis, but it is not a silver bullet.
