Mother Nature has a cruel way of reminding us that the Fourth of July isn’t all about fireworks and barbeques. This particular date on the calendar marks the anniversary of American independence. Maybe the rainy weekend will remind us that the day is about more than hot dogs and sunscreen.

Liberty Activist Pays Property Tax in $1 Bills

Submitted by Free Keene on Thu, 2009-07-02 20:59.

In protest of government people’s continued aggression against peaceful human beings, I decided to pay the latest Keene property tax bill, over $2700, in all ones. I brought pizza to share with those who were inconvenienced, gave a short speech, and Sam from the Obscured Truth Network brought his video camera. As usual, the bureaucrat aggressors did not like the cameras:

Is that a tunnel at the end of the light?

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Thu, 2009-07-02 14:21.

The Bureau of labor statistics (BLS) released a June jobless figure at 9.5, a paltry 0.1% over May. But while some are cheering the number, that 0.1 still amounts to another 467,000 more unemployed persons, and with an unadjusted rate of 9.7% for June, we had best be looking at other trends to determine where we really are, and if there is a reason to hope the downtrend has slowed.

Belmont Track can't collect new tax on gambling winnings

Submitted by Grant Bosse on Thu, 2009-07-02 06:40.

Laconia Sun reporter Michael Kitch wrote yesterday that the Lodge at Belmont isn't planning to sue the state over its new tax on gambling winnings, but it can't collect the tax for the state either. Less than two days into the fiscal year, and the state already has two injunctions against it, and another tax it can't collect.

Why Lynch Won’t Veto Medical Marijuana

Submitted by Steve Vaillancourt on Wed, 2009-07-01 15:00.

Community Post

I’m going way out on a limb here.
Unlike with most scoops I offer here, I have no inside information to back this up, but my best guess is that Governor John Lynch will not veto the medical marijuana bill (HB 648) when it finally lands on his desk.
