State legislators from both sides of the aisle seem to agree that New Hampshire property taxes are too high. Local property tax rates are a much bigger burden than the statewide property tax, however, so state lawmakers usually try to ease the property tax burden indirectly by providing towns with more state dollars.

For Assistant Merrimack County Attorney Brendan Cahalin, alcohol was a powerful and effective way of coping with life’s problems – and then it stopped working.
Like many professionals, Cahalin, 32, turned to alcohol at a young age and later in life he used it to avoid difficult feelings. This avoidance led him in and out of numerous psychiatric wards, detox and recovery facilities, and sober houses. And it nearly cost him his relationships with family and his life.
Gov. Chris Sununu announced Tuesday that the N.H. Department of Health and Human Services has received nearly $20 million from the federal government as part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) to support.
