Preserve Your Local Vote

Small towns may be hit the hardest and have no idea what's coming

Many of the mid-rise developments American planners favor today resemble this east German stack-and-pack built during the Soviet era. (American Dream Coalition http://americandreamcoalition.org/?page_id=3299)

Now that NH state elections are over, it is time for our newly elected representatives to submit Legislative Service Requests, or LSRs for short, to be considered as bills for the next session.

One of the most important issues facing us is the state's attempt at takeover of town governance. This happens because of the ability to nullify the local vote of any town committee by the rulings of just 3 appointees sitting in Concord.

Ask your new Reps and Senators to file an LSR to REPEAL the Housing Appeals Board (HAB).

- It is not warranted fiscally or constitutionally.
- It robs us of our local control by nullifying our votes.
- It favors tax subsidies and tax breaks for selected private entities.
- It creates an extra tax burden which is then placed on single-family homeowners.
- It has already favored the above-mentioned private entities over town votes in 13/14 cases.
