I missed yesterday's second editorial in the Union Leader addressing the state budget:
Consider a low-income family of four with a car and a motorcycle. That family will pay $15 more to register a motorcycle and $30 more to register a standard-sized car. (They'd pay even more if they had a truck.) If just one person in the family smokes a pack a day, that's another $164 in taxes in the next year. Under this budget, that family will pay at least $209 in higher taxes and fees. That's if they don't own a truck, have to renew a driver's license or go camping for vacation. Adding a 9 percent rooms and meals tax to campground stays could tack on another $40.
