Oh well in that case, I mean a tax increase in MA? Shocking! Not sure that is as much of a boon to the NH economy as you'd think. Sure some may travel over the border to save paying the increase but for most that's just not practical. Frankly I think MA should introduce a hybrid car tax instead of increasing the gas tax.

The real cash cow in NH is the liquor stores. I'm surprised they don't have one on the big lake complete with docks.

I don't smoke but I think the tax on cigarettes went up a dollar today in mass.,
I know people who smoke and drive just over the border to buy them..
I fuel up each weekend in N.H.before I drive home because it is cheaper.
I also buy beer in N.H. if I need it while I am up here..

I'm headed back to Mass. today, just gassed up here, might be on fumes by the time I get back, but I think I'll risk it. BTW, the gas tax is a "progressive" tax that is linked to inflation, meaning it will perpetually increase and the cowards won't have to vote on it again.....
