By opening the flood gates to allow towns to assess their own Rooms and Meals taxes they are breaking New Hampshire into hundreds of small taxing governments. This scheme isn't going to work.
I totally agree. Breaking New Hampshire up into hundreds of small taxing governments is a scheme that ultimately isn't going to work.
But the ghosts of Meldrim Thomson and William Loeb cast long shadows, so we don't really have a choice on the predominant revenue structure in the Granite State, do we?
