Even in New Hampshire A Call for Tax Reform

They may not have an income tax, but they sure do have high property taxes..............

The New York Times covers a growing grassroots movement in New Hampshire....

A nonbinding measure calling for tax reform appeared on the town meeting agenda of 96 communities in the last two years, and it has passed in about 70 percent of them, including at least 67 in the last week.

Supporters of the measure say the goal is to ease the tax burden on homeowners. Opponents say it is a backdoor effort to pass an income or sales tax in a state that neither wants nor needs them.

“New Hampshire is overreliant on property tax,” said Paul Henle, executive director of the Granite State Fair Tax Coalition, which placed the item on the town agendas. Opponents point out that the group focused on towns with extremely high tax rates.

After about 40 years of anti-tax pledges it's about time don't you think?
