UL- "The secret tax: Business left out:

The Union Leader warns that passing new business taxes, without letting New Hampshire's know what's coming, is bad for business in New Hampshire:

That is no way to run a railroad, as the saying goes. While Gov. John Lynch was in Nashua Thursday reasurring businesses that they had nothing to worry about, the most popular form of new business arrangement in the state was gettting slapped with a new tax and no one it affected was allowed to see exactly who would be hit and how.

If Gov. Lynch wants business owners and entrepreneurs to feel comfortable doing business in New Hampshire, he needs to make sure they are included when lawmakers devise legislation that directly affects them. If people who are thinking of starting a business here get the impression that tax laws are changed suddenly and without warning or concern for those affected, they will think twice before bringing jobs and growth to our state.
