Another option I considered is a form to mail script. I thought that this is a common use case and something would already exist, haha.

I'm happy to! Sorry, I'm a noob, haha

I use qBitController to manage downloads on my home computer from my Android device.

Do you want something to download onto your android device? I thought LibreTorrent was fine 🤷

It has to be approved in both houses and be signed by the Governor to become law. So far it has passed the New Hampshire State House.

Not increasing funding is not a cut. In fact, the schools will still get more money every year. 🙂

In the period from 2001-2024, per pupil spending in New Hampshire has doubled on an inflation-adjusted basis, but test scores have remained the same... https://jbartlett.org/2025/06/per-pupil-spending-in-nh-nearly-doubles-from-2001-2024-as-district-public-schools-spend-1-25-billion-more-on-54000-fewer-students/

We still have to pay federal income tax. There is no state income tax.

Yes we have public schools and hospitals, yes we pave our roads. I think a lot of people have been led to believe it is either or, but it turns out when taxes are lowered, government starts prioritizing their spending better.

We have a lot of taxes for specific uses, where only tbe user pays it: a tax on liquor, toll roads, a tax on gambling profits and a tax on hotel stays.  None of these are essential goods or services. So if you don't use them, you don't pay it. 🙂

New Hampshire has no sales tax either. At the local level we have property tax.  We also collect a decent amount of money from toll roads, a tax on liquor, a tax on gambling profits and a tax on hotel stays and restaurants.  Oh and there is a payroll tax.

As you can see, we rely more on user fees than broad based taxes.  The way to lower your taxes is to not partake in these services.

As you mentioned, both income and sales tax are basically a tax on living your normal life.

You're right. There's still work to do!

Weed is legal for medical use, and a bill for recreational use passed the house this year, but it died in the Senate.

Also, there is legislation to cap property taxes at the rate of inflation.

Well I think one the Koch brothers passed away a few years back. I think the other lives in the Midwest somewhere?
