Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"It might be more prudent to start with closing loopholes like with unearned income. NH has to find a way of reducing our dependence on property taxes and smoothing our economy over longer time periods so we can attract more business development and a skilled workforce to come to and remain in our state. It is disingenuous to reject out of hand any kind of tax or revenue source if it is part of a long term budgeting process."

Should NH broaden campaign finance disclosure laws?
"I think the NH State Representative rules and current disclosures are sufficient however, the NH Senate, Governor and US Congressional campaigns need to not only have more disclosure but need to have outside interests and funding excluded. We should start by reexamining and overturning the Supreme Court ruling 'Citizens United' that basically destroyed any semblance of campaign finance limits."
