From the Herald "State Republicans are howling mad over yet another tax hike being slipped through the Legislature that would slap an annual $3 state surcharge on municipal licensing fees canine owners pay for their pet pooches."
Newburyport charges $10 for a dog license, so this surcharge represents a 30% increase . Our legislators just hit us with a 25% increase in the sales tax and now this. Maybe they should try to cut the budget instead of hitting the taxpayers with ever higher taxes.
One legislator was caught buying his booze in tax free NH. Many may follow his lead and simply stop getting their dogs' licensed. Three dollars isn't a lot of money, but with government taking an ever larger bite out of our paychecks, some people may say enough is enough. I know I don't have a money tree in the backyard and I'm sure none of my friends do either.
