Shoveling it, indeed

February 13, 2009

NH Business Review Staff,

To the editor:

Right now, even by bus:

• It is inconvenient to travel between Nashua and Boston

• It is impossible from Manchester anymore

• It is inconvenient to take a bus from the middle of nowhere (new “terminals” on I-93)

• It is very expensive to take a bus from either place

Now, let’s assume we want railroad in New Hampshire for commuting to Boston:

• How much will it cost round-trip?

• How long will it take to get there, station to station?

• What will the train schedule be, how often will it run inbound and outbound?

So take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.

Cutting pennies from businesses while gutting NH’s future is bad policy

HB 155 would cut the Business Enterprise Tax by 0.05%. On paper, that sounds “pro-business.” In reality, it’s a distraction that saves most businesses pennies while pulling an estimated $23 million out of an already strained state budget, says small business owner Jesse Lore.
