Pretty good article - maybe NH won't end up like NJ!

The current legislature seems to be following NJ's example as best they can, with a zillion new regulations and spending appropriations.

It took the legislature of New Jersey decades to accomplish what is now taking place.  Where would New Hampshire fall on the scale of 1960s NJ to 2007 NJ in terms of state leaders deciding that it's time to "cash in" on the "cash cow?"

I'm just feeling beat up having completed reviews of the bills for the coming week.
It's not the end of freedom, just many small cuts, and a few big ones.
Spending appropriations... regulations... Blah!

I'll post the list shortly
