The Valley News editorial page comes out against the recently passed state budget, saying that time is passed for a broad-based tax:
What's done is done, but it wasn't pretty to watch, nor were the results pleasing. We're referring to the making of the New Hampshire budget, which lawmakers passed by narrow margins on Wednesday. The $11.5 billion two-year spending plan, which takes effect July 1, exemplifies what happens when a state has no place to turn for revenue because it refuses to adopt an equitable, broad-based tax. Not only do programs and services suffer; the hunt for alternative revenue sources becomes an exercise in desperation, bordering at times on absurdity. Call it the New Hampshire Disadvantage.
