  Our lack of an income tax allows our citizens to take home more of their hard earned pay, which they then return back into our economy through purchases of goods and services.

  Generally, I support keeping business taxes competitive enough to attract more businesses to the state. That being said, we must keep a close eye on many other factors prior to lowering. These include but are not limited to continuing to fund critic services, the status of our pension debt liabilities. Clear eyed tax relief for business is a good thing when done responsibly.

  I believe there are ways to encourage localities to open up more ability to create new housing, without infringing in local control of the people's right to determine the kind and size of the community that they reside in. I think that all ideas should be explored including public/private partnerships.

  This program is wonderful for the children of New Hampshire. The only people who don't like it are the teacher's unions. They have for so long bread mediocrity in their ranks that they cannot tolerate scrutiny and competition. If the public school is the best place for children to go then parents will not remove their children and send them elsewhere. The very popularity of this program shows the public dissatisfaction of the current public school model. In New Hampshire we cherish education of children not institutions. Whatever the best educational environment for the child is, is exactly where the child belongs and the money should follow the child.

  This is perhaps the one area where I would support a broad-based sales tax. A broad-based sales tax with a constitutional amendment revoking local property tax for education.

  The government should not require anything that drives up the cost of energy for consumers. When and if renewable emery becomes efficient and cost effective, the free market will demand it just like every new innovation that has come before. No new innovation has ever come from government.

  The current laws regarding access to abortion are more lenient than most European countries and equal to or more lenient than most American states. On New Hampshire woman has the ability to choose to keep or terminate her pregnancy up to 6 months. After 6 months it becomes a question of whether or not continuing the pregnancy would be a danger to the mother or if there is evidence of a fatal fetal anomaly which would result in the child not being able to survive at birth. The people of New Hampshire have expressed that the current laws are where they would like to stay.

  If this question or changed to say ' should New Hampshire pass stricter laws on the freedom of speech? ', it would not even be asked on this survey. Why? Because the freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by our Constitution. Just like the right to keep in bear arms. We do not tolerate the passing of laws to weaken constitutional rights.

  As the Supreme Court has ruled that it is the prime responsibility of the federal government to enforce our immigration laws, they are the only ones who can lawfully protect our borders. Local law enforcement refusing to cooperate with them in this effort, is dangerous and has resulted in many deaths. Either something is the law or it is not the law. Allowing localities to decide which laws they like in which laws they don't like is it dangerous path to go down and causes a lack of faith in our entire system. While I do not support our state and local law enforcement actually enforcing immigration law, I do believe that they should be obligated to share information with them.

  There should be universal identification required to vote.

  New Hampshire has no money to increase funding for anything. A more accurate phrasing of this question would be 'should businesses charge more for their goods and services and should towns increase property taxes for heroin treatment programs?' My answer is to first find a treatment method that shows long term success and then find the actual cost.

  I think that police brutality is an issue wherever and whenever it happens but I will not make a blanket indictment of all the hard working men and women of the NH law enforcement community by saying it is a problem for NH. Having said that, I do endorse the use of body cameras as they have proven to protect both the public and the officers who use them.
