I advise killing SB 101 for fiscal reasons: the good people of New Hampshire are financially stressed and cannot risk an increase to the already burdensome property taxes they face. My neighbors and I are working class folk or retirees. All my contacts are experiencing difficulties paying for healthcare, groceries, property taxes, utilities, and property taxes. SB 101 injects yet another uncertainty in these very uncertain times, and the legislature appears indifferent to our distress. State revenues continue to decline. New business from outside the state does not offset the Sununo cuts to business taxes and commerce with Canada has fizzled to nothing. Whatever the legislators believe, now is NOT the time to increase financial and mental stress on the public they represent. It's well and good to discuss esoteric issues like school choice and actualizing the potential of the youth but most of us who are merely working class or common folk have more immediate, more quantifiable, and increasingy life-threatening needs. I respectfully ask you to take your leadership duties seriously, understand that your neighbors have trusted you to do right by the, and ask God to guide you wisely.
