  I personally do not like abortion, but I believe that a woman has the freedom of choice for her body. I do not think abortions should be performed after 20 weeks, except in the case of harm or death to the mother, or if the baby is not viable. In the case of incest or rape, I think that the mother should be able to make that choice without facing penalty for it.

  I actually am for it, IF it is used to lower our property tax. We are taxed on the value of our home, not on our ability to pay. I would work to find the revenue we need to lower our property taxes. An income tax would be a more fair system, as it would place everyone on an equal playing field. If an income tax was added and it did NOT provide property tax relief, I would vote against it.

  Our state revenue relies on corporate taxes. Reducing the rate by as little as .005% would drain over $26 million annually from the state budget. This could result in forcing cuts to vital public services, or again, shifting the tax burden onto local property tax payers.

  This tax predominately affected the wealthy, as they are more likely to have the resources to save through stocks, CD's, and 401K accounts, to name a few. When we removed this tax, we eliminated a source of income to the state, making it necessary for towns to find other ways to fund needed services. That resulted in higher property tax. Breaking the backs of the poor so the rich can live free is not the right way to fund our towns and state!

  I think that our towns know best what works for them and what does not. State mandates may disregard the limits of our town's infrastructure, such as water, sewer, and school capacities. Instead, the state should encourage development through voluntary incentive based programs (such as matching infrastructure grants) as opposed to forcing their will on our communities.

  I would, if they put an income cap on these accounts. Since the legislature has voted to remove that cap, I am against it. This appears to be another break that the wealthy get to use. If a couple can afford to have one spouse stay at home and home-school their 6 kids, getting paid $30,000 to do so is a nice chunk of change. Working class families who rely on 2 incomes to make ends meet cannot afford the option to stay home or transport their child to another school district. This is just throwing more money into the pockets of the rich.

  Our state has a constitutional obligation to provide an adequate public education. That amount has been set at $4,265 per student. Lawsuits have determined the rate the state has been ordered to pay be $7,356. The state refuses to pay that amount. Gov. Ayotte signed legislation to limit the state's funding obligation to basic instruction, excluding costs like buses, nurses, and administration. Per pupil spending averages around $20,000. Because the state limits it's contribution, local property taxes make up more than 70% of public education funding.

  I do not know enough about this at this time, but I am for solar energy and clean renewable sources such as windmills.

  The Second Amendment is a core basic right that we have and shall maintain. However I believe that we can also have sensible controls and restrictions in place to protect ALL people. This does not mean take away your guns. It means working in a bipartisan relationship to find common ground where we can establish parameters that honor gun ownership and use, while keeping children and others safe.

  Yes to NEW voters, but not making this an issue with a woman who has married and changed her maiden name.
