After arriving home from the post office this morning I grabbed the Eagle Tribune newspaper from out front. The headline was how for the last 4 years New Hampshire has come out on top. A study earlier this month by Morgan Quinto Press from Lawrence Kansas named the Granite State the most livable based on 44 factors. Of course I don't know the 44 factors
Most people interviewed asked about why they love NH said they loved the proximity to the ocean, lakes region and the mountains. Some spoke how when they moved away the really missed the four seasons.
Most people who live in Southern NH commute to Massachusetts and to downtown Boston. To gain the top spot most people from New Hampshire felt they were safe with low crime and low poverty and a high number of people with college degrees.
One of the things that people felt they did not like about NH was their taxes. NH has high property taxes but we do not have a sales tax or income tax. Right now part of our property taxes help fund public education and that's how our town's make their money for fire, police and rescue.
Our Governor John Lyncjh has said "The report reaffirms what the citizens of our state already know.
New Hampshire is a great place to live and work.
"Please don't forget our state motto. "Live Free or Die"
