Is concern over state-sanctioned money laundering and boot-legging limited to only residents of the state at fault? And I've found out that, at least of the NH responders, the general opinion seems to be that if it makes the State of NH money, anything goes.
Sounds like your bankrupt state of CT could learn a thing or two from NH.

Not a crime under New Hampshire law
If NH cared about people evading tax law in neighboring states, we wouldn't have so many fireworks stores in border towns. Or tire stores, Costco, furniture galleries, outlet malls, etc.
I don't see how NH could stop this. If they limit the amount that can be purchased by a person at a store, then that person can just go from store to store and fill their car that way. Or send two people to NH to buy...
As for MA vs. NH, MA controls the distribution of beer and wine by licensing liquor stores; beer and wine are available in grocery stores and convenience shops as in NH. Getting a liquor license in MA is $250k+. That cost gets passed on to the consumer.
I don't think they can, or that they even really care that much about it. They'll do some studies and look into things to make the bordering states happy but this isn't rally NH's problem imo.
Just wait until MA starts to sell marijuana: Connecticut residents will now have an additional stop on their NH booze run. I'm willing to bet MA pot shops will need money counters as well

And the NH residents will all be coming down 3, 91, 93, 95 to MA as well.
I heard a story from when Meldrim Thomson was NH governor, and tax agents from MA would sit outside of NH liquor stores to try to catch MA residents buying booze and bringing it home. Thomson got word of this, and sent NH state troopers to arrest the tax agents for loitering. They stopped sitting in front of the liquor stores after that.
