Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?

"The rights of abutting and neighboring property owners must be honored as they have invested heavily in their own properties under existing laws which forms a contract with local government as to the nature of surrounds."

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?

"A citizen who finds himself at a lower level of employability deserves a chance to start at wage he is satisfied with. From there it is upward and onward toward higher pricing of his labor when skill is gained."
