Margaret Konze for Myself Pembroke Please reconsider the QR code part. One should not need to buy a smart phone with apps that will sell their data just so they can see where their property taxes are being spent. Elderly people who don’t pay for internet shouldn’t have to sign up just to get this information if people are entitled to it. | Pembroke | Support | 307 | Jan 30, 2026 | |
Melanie Kasparian for Myself Hudson Suggest you modify the text to not specify the type of data visualization (i.e. pie charts, bar charts). Best practices in data visualization should be deployed based on the context = leveraging size, shape, color, etc. | Hudson | Oppose | 219 | Jan 30, 2026 | |
Patricia Hunt for Myself Francona This bill seems to require municipalities to produce pie charts, bar charts, and QR codes on property tax bills depicting where and how tax dollars are being allocated. Are you kidding me? Stop requiring more and more of cities and towns and do your own jobs! | Francona | Oppose | 260 | Jan 30, 2026 | |
Kelly Butler for Myself Gilsum More information is always good, and some people are more visual learners that find charts easier to understand. | Gilsum | Support | 112 | Jan 30, 2026 | |
INES MONTALVO for Myself Gorham Transparency is important especially in relation to our property taxes and where it all going. | Gorham | Support | 94 | Jan 30, 2026 | |
Donna. Tully. for Myself Littleton I am oppose this bill for the benefit of NH voters. | Littleton | Oppose | 52 | Jan 30, 2026 | |
Simon Berrio for Myself Dalton While transparency is never a bad thing, I oppose this bill as written as it will increase costs for my town(Dalton) by requiring additional hours for our lone town office employee to produce these Concord specified items. Increasing local costs will not decrease or at least keep even local property taxes, and I could have sworn the party of the sponsors ran on decreasing costs with an eye towards runaway property taxes. Fix it so the state pays for it or ITL completely. Oh, and a QR code. Really? Stop it. | Dalton | Oppose | 517 | Jan 30, 2026 | |
