Whose taxes were lowered? #NHPolitics

Great outcomes for NH schools despite having the lowest state funding in the nation: costs paid by local property taxpayers. And now, with the Governor signing HB 1300 to put local school tax caps on the ballot, state leadership is making it even harder for communities to bridge the gap. #NHPolitics

Says the disaffiliated Libertarian Party of New Hampshire; if you want any restrictions around homeschooling, you deserve violence. #NHPolitics

This is not true. NH voters can vote without an ID on their person — submit an affidavit — because their identity can be lost, stolen, burned in a house fire, etc. Identity verification always, or an automatic investigation is initiated. #NHPolitics

The NH House may try to police bathrooms again, but the Governor will veto it again, and there will never be an overriding majority. What’s the plan? Make accusations, ID people at the door; then get sued? I believe people should have the freedom to be themselves. #NHPolitics

New data centers use closed-loop cooling (recirculate). They don’t have this problem, but power generation uses lots of water. Add to that, people are paying more for energy and consumer tech in exchange for AI that may replace them in the workforce. 1/2 scienceblog.com/j-the-town-o... #NHPolitics

Small business owners also pay property taxes, so moving taxes from BET to their — and everyone else’s — property tax bill isn’t exactly a gift. About 5% of businesses operating in NH pay about 80% of BET. Those aren’t “small businesses. 1/2 #NHPolitics

HB2026 included major transportation and infrastructure projects. It had bipartisan support. It was vetoed because it would raise toll prices for drivers from out-of-state. Neighboring states have long done the same to NH drivers who pay higher ME and MA tolls. I don’t get the veto. #NHPolitics

Happy 4th of July!

I don’t understand this veto. The state needs tolls revenue to fund our roads. Raising fees for out-of-state drivers would be harmless to New Hampshire residents and reciprocal with neighboring Mass and Maine, which already charge a premium to NH drivers. indepthnh.org/2026/07/02/a... #NHPolitics

✋ Energy utilities operate in regional monopolies with captive demand. Absent consumer advocacy, utilities could build infrastructure at will and pass the costs, plus profit margins, along to consumers. That increases consumer costs, so it’s important to make sure builds are necessary. #NHPolitics

There’s been no report of any injury resulting from the unfair advantage of a transgender student athlete playing a sport in New Hampshire, nor has any competition been decided. The legislature is targeting trans people — including children — because it wants to target trans people. #NHPolitics

The NH legislature believes in the Constitution, except for some amendments. ❌ 1A ✅ 2A ❌ 3A ❌ 4A ❌ 5A ❌ 6A ❌ 7A ❌ 8A ❌ 9A ❌ 10A ❌ 11A ❌ 12A ❌ 13A ❌ 14A ❌ 15A ❌ 16A ❌ 17A ❌ 18A ❌ 19A ❌ 20A ❌ 21A ❌ 22A ❌ 23A ❌ 24A ❌ 25A ❌ 26A ❌ 27A #NHPolitics

Small government, freedom-loving legislators are salivating over the opportunity to discriminate against and take freedoms from children, and increase youth suicide attempts as a consequence. Is your legislator punching down hard enough on kids who already have it hard? #NHPolitics

I believe that all children should be able to play sports. Trans kids are 3 to 4 times more likely to commit suicide than their peers — a legacy that the “pro-life” SCOTUS will own.

If New Hampshire legislature’s tax policies are indeed favorable for residents, why can’t young people afford to live here? Why are they moving away? Will more of the same policies that eliminate state revenue sources to reduce education funding and increase property taxes/rents fix it? #NHPolitics

I try to stick values over partisanship, but there’s an obvious counterpoint here. Republicans only cut Business Enterprise and Interest and Dividends taxes, which you probably don’t pay. They also cut municipal funding, which you definitely do pay as higher property taxes and rent. #NHPolitics

I’m proud to have North Country Cider in Dover. My favorites are the Northern Comfort and Fire Starter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m speculating, but my gut says that this is due to a combination of factors: high cost of housing, expensive healthcare, eroding social safety nets, and the lack of financial capacity to save for retirement. Starting a family is too expensive. www.axios.com/2026/06/25/s... #NHPolitics

This is creating a problem to deliver a solution that only those in power want: more money in politics. Voters want the opposite. Make the max anonymous donation $0 instead. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/06/23/a... #NHPolitics

I was proud to participate in the proclamation for Juneteenth and help raise the Juneteenth flag at Dover City Hall.

Never missing a chance to vilify transgender people, Reps. Manzur and Drew are placing blame at the feet of all trans people for Laughton’s horrific crimes. Unfortunately, straight people also commit sex crimes. I’ll bet these people are all right-handed too. #NHPolitics

Crack is not legal in New Hampshire. Corcoran is making a bad-faith argument. #NHPolitics

I guess we can thank public education that the Statehouse refuses to fund and is actively attacking municipalities’ ability to fund by sucking money out of districts with school vouchers. #NHPolitics

Congratulations to the 2026 graduating class of the Dover Adult Learning Center! 🎓🥳

I agree with him. Said, @dmokreis.bsky.social to Portsmouth's City Council, “[Be] very vigilant in publicizing what options are available to consumers within your borders, and clamoring for frictionless migration between CPCNH and Eversource.” 1/6 www.fosters.com/story/news/l... #NHPolitics

Don’t worry about your high property tax bill. The Statehouse will get the Business Enterprise Tax back to 1993 levels. Gifting more money to enterprises, sending that money out of state, and pushing costs to your property tax bill will fix it. Down is up. www.wmur.com/article/new-... #NHPolitics

Manchester Rep. Drew and other reps. don’t like wealth taxes. Property taxes are a wealth tax. A person’s wealth is tied up in their property, which is taxed. Access that wealth for another purpose; lose housing. Yet, the Statehouse regularly downshifts costs to property taxpayers. 1/2 #NHPolitics

When the state cuts funding to municipalities, that’s outside of local control. The state only allows municipalities to raise money through property taxes. That is outside of local control. Property taxpayers have to pay for the funding gap. That’s outside of local control. #NHPolitics

They lowered the Business Enterprise Tax. Under 20% of businesses pay it: enterprises. The school voucher program increased property taxes by stripping municipalities of revenue and leaving property owners to cover the loss. www.wmur.com/article/repu... #NHPolitics

Cutting your taxes means funding public education. It’s election season. If you’re struggling with high property taxes and rent — property taxes are loaded in rent — this is evergreen. Cutting Business Enterprise Taxes again won’t help you at all. bretcarmichael.us/signal/const... #NHPolitics

🎓 Congratulations to Dover’s class of 2026, and thank you to the parents and educators who supported you along the way! I’m excited to see the great things you’ll accomplish. bretcarmichael.us/signal/dover...

This is such a bizarre thing to campaign on: “I came to the U.S. from China on asylum. Anyone else who would do that is a moral degenerate. It needs to stop now.” #NHPolitics

Cut aid to municipalities. ➡️ Municipalities pay more. ➡️ Cut municipalities’ ability to fund public education. ➡️ Public education quality declines. ➡️ Blame public schools for decline in quality. ➡️ Privatize education. ➡️ No money; no good school for your kids. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2026... #NHPolitics

Game time. Congratulations Class of 2026! #DoverNH

I wrote an article explaining why property taxes seem to vary so widely across the NH Seacoast. While I only talk about Seacoast communities, the general themes apply to New Hampshire broadly. bretcarmichael.us/signal/dover... #NHPolitics

Happy Pride month! Being kind to other human beings is not woke. It’s being kind. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

What is the “woke narrative?” And what’s a word that means the opposite of “woke?” #NHPolitics

This’ll be the most common take on why proof-of-citizenship was common sense legislation and its rejection must mean the judge wants “illegals” to vote. It ignores that that votes-by-affidavit are verified within 7 days. The problem the legislation solves doesn’t exist. #NHPolitics

Between 1998 and 2024, there have been 47 instances of fraud among 8.3 million votes. That’s the math. The state has a process to verify affidavits. Voters don’t trust the system because their politicians have sown distrust, so they can make it harder to vote. nitter.net/AdamSextonWM... #NHPolitics

Good news. Proof-of-citizenship voting is a solution in search of a problem. Unlawful people aren’t voting. Existing controls do the job. Adding new burdens for valid voters will only prevent legal votes from being counted. That’s unacceptable. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/05/29/a... #NHPolitics

The “Save LPNH” campaign looks performative. Kauffman’s campaign platform for chair of the national Libertarian Party was that he would abolish it if elected. #NHPolitics

The main technical reason for disaffiliating LPNH seemed to be its 2024 endorsement of Trump in violation of the LP National’s bylaws. But if you follow NH politics, you know that racism and bigotry are core LPNH’s identity and a problem with the party. Sample from Sat’s candidate forum. #NHPolitics

The National Libertarian Party just voted to disaffiliate the Libertarian Party of NH. The vote was 15-2, with 1 member abstaining. www.youtube.com/live/Z5243hP... #NHPolitics

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women who gave their lives in service of our country. We owe a debt to their selfless sacrifice. I am grateful to them.

We had a snowy winter in New Hampshire. Even though we've gotten some rain during the spring, we're still in severe drought conditions throughout the Seacoast. Here's a good explanation from NH DES and WMUR. www.wmur.com/article/wmur-nh-... #DoverNH

The ruling majority in the NH State House has made a priority of advancing bathroom bans like Idaho… multiple times. This is a sad consequence of attacking the rights of trans people and making them feel like they don’t belong. I believe we should do better than this for our kids. #NHPolitics

NH residents experience local gov’t and see federal gov’t — but state gov’t flies under the radar. Several NH Reps have ties to LPNH. Here, LPNH defends using the n-word; that speech should never be met with violence while also inferring @davidmeuse.bsky.social should die for his speech. #NHPolitics

Inflation is hot. Gas is averaging $4.50 a gallon. New Hampshire families are struggling, and Canada is boycotting our businesses. We’re running on culture wars and calling in the influencers to help fight them. #NHPolitics
