NH State House Commenter

oh

@ronrule My mistake

@NHSHCommenter Yes it is.

Over the last ten years, New Hampshire has cut taxes on business profits five times. Over the last ten years, New Hampshire revenues from business tax receipts increased 118%. There’s a lesson here for other states.

@SamFarringtonNH @Osborne4NH @JoeSweeneyNH @NHHouseGOP Like, all taxation, or....?

The New Hampshire Advantage Amendment will be presented on Tax Day, April 15 in Ways and Means. I will be there along with @Osborne4NH @JoeSweeneyNH and the rest of @NHHouseGOP. The Democrats previously voted against a constitutional amendment to ban an income tax because “they didn’t have enough time to review the language”. They will now have the opportunity to attend the hearing. I hope that they will support it. This is your reminder that taxation is theft. Sign the pledge: noincometaxnh.com

@NewHampJournal Its especially funny that its on Murphy's Taproom

The billboard in question

The @nhgop has filed a complaint with NHDOJ against Dem ⁦@CindeWarmington⁩ for posting a billboard attacking Gov ⁦@KellyAyotte⁩ that doesn’t have the legally required disclaimers.

@jondipietronh Average state pension is like $22k. If you want to talk about retired or double dipping police and firefighters, that's another story.... Typical NH state employees aren't exactly raking it in...

I'm willing to bet that half of the boats on Lake Winnipesaukee on any given day belong to retired state employees.

@NHDems So, isn't that kinda good though? Home values increasing because it's desirable to live here?

For 73 months straight, the price of a single-family home has increased. New Hampshire’s dire housing crisis is the direct result of failed leadership from Kelly Ayotte, who has defunded affordable housing programs. #NHPolitics wmur.com/article/median…

I don't mean to brag, but I am currently ranked #1 in ESPN's March Madness Tournament Challenge

@Snowy_603 @travis4nh @Granite_Stater1 They were all about enforcing this heavily when it first passed. Not so much lately, it seems

@travis4nh @Granite_Stater1 How about distracted drivers? I’m sick and tired of people scrolling FB or texting forcing me off the road with my infant in the truck. I wholeheartedly believe this is a MUCH bigger issue than people refusing to blow. There’s no excuse for impaired driving, phone use included.

@JamesSpillaneNH Sitting with the president and kicking Kamala's seat seems like a no brainer

Any aisle seat looks fine. Which is good because I prefer the aisle.

@SilviaVinc71538 @CindeWarmington Your point is valid, but double check your numbers my guy

@CindeWarmington Yeah the aid to cities and towns has gone up from 202 million in 2016 To 902 million last year But property taxes keep going up YOU ARE A LIAR

Kelly Ayotte is fueling the property tax crisis by stealing from the pockets of working people to bankroll private school tuition for rich families. Kelly’s voucher scheme is costing Granite Staters who can least afford it — and as Governor, I’ll put a stop to it. #NHPolitics

Well, that is one opinion, yes. However, the state policy for years has been to allow for dollars to be used, indirectly, at religious schools. EFAs are a convenient and easy to blame target, but they are only about 1.25% of total state education spending. This whole "property taxes are high because of EFAs" narrative really only just distracts from bigger issues we have in funding our education system...

@NHSHCommenter @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte EFA shouldn’t go to private schools or religious schools. It’s public money. It should be used in the same public system to shuffle students if needed. That money goes with them-eliminates the issue about money exiting the system.

@letsgofusconh @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte I think there should still be some sort of income limit to it… I have never supported millionaires getting any EFA…

@NHSHCommenter @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte I agree that ALL OF US are more aligned than we think, except the large party candidates. If we solve the ROOT CAUSES we don’t need to argue about 80% of what we argue about. if EFA helped working class kids and not kids already in private school I wouldn’t argue it.

@letsgofusconh @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte you and I are more on the same page than you think… I took exception to the statement that EFA‘s somehow impact local property taxes. I don’t disagree with you. The state has a revenue problem.

@NHSHCommenter @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte Of course. That’s how I know we need new revenue sources instead of just moving the same ones around

@letsgofusconh @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte Are you familiar what the revenue sources are to the state ETF?

@NHSHCommenter @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte We totally agree there! Even if the state didn’t take this money for EFA, it would have for something. That’s why it’s egregious that it went to people in private & religious school. It looks like rich folks get a rebate, but working class gets nothing.

@letsgofusconh @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte No, I own property. I just don't agree that if EFA spending was reduced that the state would take that money and give it to public schools, rather than any other potential state spending purpose

@NHSHCommenter @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte Right. It comes from the state, meaning there is LESS state money to send to public school meaning the local towns have to cover the budget shortfall. I know you don’t own property because no property owner would argue this because every property owner is acutely feeling it

@letsgofusconh @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte What is your solution, Michael

@NHSHCommenter @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte So ask me my solution instead of arguing it’s a good system.

That brook

it is not lost on me the difference between fixed and variable cost… I get it… Losing two kids means two kids less worth of state aid and you can’t cut any expenses… It works the other way too… When a district gets two more kids they have no additional cost, but get two kids worth of state aid this is what you get with a per capita aid formula

@NHSHCommenter @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte If the state gives $50m gathered from public funds to private school kids who don’t need it that’s $50m less from state. Who covers the difference? The town. The taxpayer. It’s an economic fact. Arguing it is insane and borderline special needs

@letsgofusconh @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte not local taxes… It is a state program from the state sources what is so hard to understand about that?

@NHSHCommenter @CindeWarmington @NHKathySullivan @KellyAyotte Follow me bud. If they’re already in private school AND NOT GETTING A VOUCHER. And then suddenly the state is s wing them money. WHERE DOES THAT MONEY COME FROM.
