Decades ago, you probably being too young, NH was all SWEPT. There was no BPT/BET or M&R taxes to cover the State costs. We didn't have the lottery, or even D&I... go back far enough and we didn't even have a tobacco tax... certainly not a communications or electric usage tax, and no gas tax.
Right. Racetracks and booze. Not many state services, nor many people to be serviced.
