Dear Editor:
In North Carolina, one will find increases in the cost of living through higher taxes and higher governmental spending. Many people moving there seek a lower cost of living, but yet they can not find the motivation to eliminate desires for the services and spending that were “provided” in their former state.
I moved to New Hampshire seeking something different than the mover mentality in NC. Little did I read enough in 2004 and 2005 before moving to find that people were moving here from high tax and spend states – only to remain addicted to the services that created the high taxing and spending to begin with.
In deciding to run for State Representative, I looked at the time it would take out of work to serve. I decided that any working person can serve if our state legislature does what it is elected to do. Instead of spending weeks passing piles of laws, we should work to streamline and make government the ultimate in efficiency. We should respect our state Constitution and following the lead of groups like the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition in realizing that we have not just a potential taxing problem, but a detrimental and current spending problem.
Sincerely yours,
Cameron DeJong
