Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"While I am not interested in raising taxes, I realize we are often thwarted in NH because we have very limited resources and are often unable to address some of the very real needs of people in our state. Oftentimes investing in crucial supports will yield greater returns and help ensure the state's economic vitality in the future. I think we should at least consider the possibility and explore potential options so we are well-informed and in a position to make good decisions."
