Keene in the Beginnings of a Global Warming Tax (hotels, purchase)

[Sciamedia]

I was planning on buying property in New Hampshire, however, as I read the posts from this state it appears New Hampshire may wind up like Massachusetts, a state that is overwhelmed with taxes.

Keene New Hampshire I understand is also considering a Global Warming Tax? Would appreciate any information on Tax Trends in New Hampshire, as that is what I am trying to avoid.

It is unbelievable that so many can be fooled by taxes, especially global warming. People need to read more and watch less TV. If you believe everything Bill Clinton says then I guess we will all be part of a feudal society.

Did not mean to cause you a meltdown rmcewan but I did see several articles that indicate that some New Hampshire People would welcome a tax on Carbon Emissions. I do agree with Mr Comet about how mindless a reaction this is. See Below then then I read this about Keane Small N.H. city takes on a global warming challenge - The Boston Globe

Hi Sciamedia,

Yes unfortunately in the last election-our state house became filled with Dems and Rhinos who want to tax us to death and make us a nanny state. They have also been talking about Global warming nonsense and ways for us to pay more taxes. This has been discussed in the state house, the govenor has mentioned it and also in local towns. Hopefully this will get stopped and people will come to their senses in the elections in the fall.

Don't give up on NH yet- we need people like you to help balance out the tax and spenders and the nanny staters as well.

Oooh - association by placement! Classic political trick.

Are you saying they have been talking about global warming in relation to taxes?

Where? Juts because Keene asked parents not to idle their engines while picking up kids from school, doesn't mean we're going to have an income tax that will pay for carbon tax credits to big business or some such ludicrous scheme.

She's gonna be the biggest victim of that. If she isn't allow to spew her hot air every now and then, she's gonna explode.

Botox everywhere...eyewwwwww.

Was hoping New Hampshire people, the state known as "Live Free or Die" would some how be able to stop these Mass, CA and NY Taxaholics from taking over NH. When I read that article about some trying to stop idling cars in Keane, I immediately thought about Nancy Pelosi. If they get their way they will control every aspect of your life!

The state of Maine actually already has such restrictions on idle vehicles in school zones. I was floored when I read one of those restriction signs as I passed a middle school just outside Portland one day. Further proof of just how zany Maine is, but goes under radar- that state is every bit as bad as NY, Mass, and Cali.

No. It's not scary. It's just a rule. Who cares?

Car exhausts are smelly, and aside from CO2, put out plenty of other toxic chemicals that don't do kiddy brains, lungs, and livers any good.
15 years ago, when we all had cars with 3 or 4 liters engines, then fine - but now everyone's got a Ford Extinction with 6.7 high-output liters of turbo V8 spewing crap into your kids lungs, or a 20-yr old caddy with two pots not firing.

If nothing else, it makes good FISCAL sense to turn off your gas guzzler if you're waiting more and a couple of minutes.

These guys are like the smokers who can't walk more than 5ft away from an office building entrance. Place where I used to work was like running a gauntlet every time you went in there. Smokers don't get uppity: I am a successful ex-smoker, and (a) smoked away from the entrance and walkways and (b) as an ex-smoke I hate the smell from a psychological standpoint - because it smells GOOOOD :O
