“Some small amount for low-income families might be OK with me, however, I feel strongly that precious state funds going to subsidize private school tuitions is not a wise use of public funds. We need to put the public back in public education.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“Possibly some private corporations might be permitted to segregate due to religious beliefs, as I support freedom of religion and those rights would need to balanced. Otherwise I am against segregation based on biological sex.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)

“Opposed to a broad based income tax. However, I am open to an income tax, over a certain threshold, for very high bracket income earners.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“The state of NH has made efforts to promote housing options by allowing accessory dwelling units by right. I support innovative zoning changes that facilitate a diverse mix of housing options that fit in with the surrounding area and are supported by the community.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“The state lost over $150 Million in funds from this tax. As this tax was intended to impact high wealth individuals, I do believe this should be reinstated. However, I would support reevaluating the revenue thresholds or consider graduated tax rates.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
