CONCORD, N.H. — State Representative Ross Berry (R-Weare), chairman of the House Election Law Committee and author of the property tax cap legislation, today condemned the lawsuit seeking to strike the property tax cap question from the November ballot, calling it “a shameless play by the Democrats to rob people of their ability to control their property tax bill.”
“This is a shameless play by the Democrats to rob people of their ability to control their property tax bill. If they thought they could beat this at the ballot box, they would not be in court.”
“Mr. Bates is a high-ranking member of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, and he has opposed every serious attempt at fiscal restraint and property tax protection that has come along. Voters in the Kearsarge district are being taxed out of their homes, and he is a large part of the reason why. Now he is asking a court to take his personal love of higher property taxes to every corner of this state. Warner deserves better than that, and so do all Granite Staters.”
“I call on every House and Senate Democrat to condemn this frivolous lawsuit and let the people vote.”
