Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"While we all want lower taxes, including our businesses, we cannot afford another business tax decrease at this time without doing significant damage to the ability of the state to provide public services, especially in the wake of the GOP's reckless repeal of the Interest & Dividends tax, which will leave a gaping hole in the state budget next year."
