CONCORD, NH- The New Hampshire House of Representatives has passed House Bill 675, a bill that will reign in out-of-control local spending and give taxpayers more resources to control spending through the use of tax caps.
Deputy Majority Leader Joe Sweeney (R-Salem) released the following statement in response to the passage of HB 675.
“This bill safeguards Granite Staters from runaway property taxes,” said Sweeney. “Local property tax rates are set through elections, yet only about 15% of voters participate, meaning just a small fraction of residents ultimately decide tax policies for everyone. That’s not true local control—it’s rule by fringe special interests. HB 675 reins in excessive local spending and takes critical steps to protect taxpayers from these financial burdens.”
