NH Speaker Pro Tem Jim Kofalt: Efforts to Stop an Income Tax

NH Speaker Pro Tem Representative Jim Kofalt called into The Morning Update to discuss the whirlwind of activity happening in the NH Legislative body.

A key issue is the major pushback from Republican members of the House to ensure that New Hampshire never enacts an income tax (or any new broad-based tax).

Pro Tem Kofalt will be part of a team that will convene a session on April 15 to debate enshrining a ‘No Income Tax’ policy as a part of the NH Constitution.
