📰 News we're reading

• Are New Hampshire's school administrative units bloated and officials overpaid? (unionleader.com) — Hampton and Winnacunnet-area residents are paying among the state’s highest superintendent salaries, with SAU 21’s leader earning over $193,000 while local teachers average $60,000 to $80,000. The article examines whether New Hampshire’s many school administrative units are driving up property taxes, highlights consolidation efforts elsewhere, and features a North Hampton budget committee member questioning pay disparities.    

• In Tax Day Hearing, Democrats Dismiss NH GOP 'Gimmick' To Ban Income Taxes (patch.com) — A Hampton Select Board vice chair joined other Democrats in Concord this week to argue that New Hampshire’s reliance on property taxes hurts working families and benefits wealthier homeowners. They opposed a proposed constitutional amendment that would permanently ban a state income tax, while Republican leaders pushed hard to send the question directly to voters statewide.
