Town vs. state fight over Hampton Beach policing costs revived HAMPTON – The Budget Committee is sending a message to town leaders that taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill to bring in police officers from out of town to help patrol Hampton Beach State Park during the summer. The committee voted 7-1 to remove $28,000 from the Police Department’s $40,000 budget earmarked for outside police agencies. “We got state reps. who don’t address it,” said Budget Committee Chairman Brian Warburton on the rising costs taxpayers pay each year to provide town services to the state-owned beach. “We got a state senator not addressing anything.
