Axe to the Equestrian Tax

Today the New Hampshire horse community showed up in force at the Legislative Office Building in Concord to oppose House Bill 427. During the hearing before the House Committee charged with investigating the Bill, its sponsor-- Representative Skinner-- effectively withdrew the Bill from consideration. Specifically, she asked the Committee to declare that the Bill was "Inexpedient to Legislate." Informally, several Representatives were heard to say that the Bill was going nowhere. The Chairwoman of the Committee indicated that the horse community had effectively communicated their concerns which were heard loud and clear by House members.
