Honorable Committee Members, I write in strong support of CACR 12, which would require a supermajority vote to enact broad-based taxes. This constitutional amendment is essential to protect New Hampshire's competitive advantage and fiscal responsibility. Key reasons to support CACR 12: • Protects families from sudden tax increases that could devastate household budgets • Preserves New Hampshire's business-friendly environment that attracts jobs and investment • Ensures any broad-based tax requires overwhelming legislative consensus, not just a simple majority • Provides constitutional protection that future legislatures cannot easily overturn • Maintains New Hampshire's tradition of fiscal restraint and limited government New Hampshire's lack of income and sales taxes has been fundamental to our state's economic success. CACR 12 would help ensure future generations enjoy the same fiscal freedom we have today. I urge you to vote ought to pass on CACR 12 and protect taxpayers with this important constitutional safeguard. Respectfully, James Beaulieu Milton, NH
