Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2018

Should New Hampshire allocate tax revenues for private and home schooling costs?

"This is an extremely complex issue. First and foremost, it is important to understand that New Hampshire and its subdivisions are representative governments. As such they have no money of their own other than what they take from their citizens through taxation. These funds are to be used for purposes of the common good. If the people decide that a government is no longer fulfilling the task that it has taken money to do, the people are free to, through their vote, reallocate those funds. So I believe that if the people decide that the money should follow the child, I would support that and would likewise support legislation to carry it out."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2018

Should New Hampshire extend the renewable portfolio standard past 2025, requiring public utilities to obtain more than 25% of electricity from renewable energy sources?

When asked a similar question on our 2018 survey Roy wrote, "I support renewable energy and believe government should incentivize its use and study but I am against government mandates. Mandates invariably cost money that will only be passed on to the consumer. This is a form of regressive taxation through proxy."
