So, I expect she will very soon veto the HB-451: Paint Care latex paint recycling bill that passed the Senate by 13-11.

Some key points on latex paint recycling. Both Maine and Vermont have had this Paint Care recycling for about ten years. Massachusetts has its own latex paint recycling program. Drying out latex paint with cat litter or hardener is difficult to do, can take days, weeks, and months depending on the heat and humidity. People resort to sneaking the paint into a dumpster or town transfer station when there is no latex paint recycling program.

Paint Care latex paint recycling is not a sales tax, it is a recycling fee similar to the tire disposal fee in New Hampshire and keeps latex paint out of the N.H. land fills just like recycled motor oil, and old tires.

You had better hope she kills some of these state tax bills on housing to or your tax house on the lake in Meredith is going to be tough on you.
