  "The state lost the school funding lawsuit, and will eventually need to pay more. Right now, about 70% of all government in New Hampshire - municipal, county, school, and state - is funded through property tax. This is the highest percentage of any state, and is grossly unfair, especially to retirees whose income declines but whose home value increases."

  "Our state needs more housing desperately - as much as 30,000 more units. Without it, our young people will choose to live somewhere else where they can afford housing, draining our workforce. This is a critical issue for the economic health of New Hampshire."

  "The cost of child care makes it difficult for a parent to return to the workforce. Just like housing, this cost will drive away younger workers the state needs. Look at all the help wanted signs to see how important these issues are."

  "This is almost unnecessary, because the marketplace has already raised wages well beyond $7.65. But the state should show we recognize the value of work, and we should not allow anyone whose options are limited to be forced to work for our current minimum wage."

  "The state needs more revenue. A capital gains tax should have a threshold, so that retirees or others with limited income are not included. A wealthy investor can afford to pay, especially because we don't have a general income tax, like Massachusetts."

  "Voting is a basic right. If someone votes illegally, they should be charged with a crime, but that happens very rarely, especially because the crime isn't worth the penalty."
