MILLIONS LEAVE HAMPTON, NH & TAXPAYERS GET LEFT WITH THE TAB VIA LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES

HAMPTON IS BEING PICKPOCKETED—AND TAXPAYERS ARE LEFT HOLDING THE BILL

Every summer, millions of dollars flow into state parking meters at Hampton Beach. Cars line up. Lots fill. The cash keeps pouring in.

But Hampton gets nothing. Zero. Not one dime of that parking revenue is guaranteed to the town that provides the roads, sewer infrastructure, police officers, firefighters, public works crews, and year-round services that make it all possible.

Meanwhile, local taxpayers are expected to keep writing bigger and bigger property tax checks.

That's not a partnership. That's a one-way cash pipeline. IT IS EXTORTION

WHERE SHOULD THE MONEY GO?

Hampton should receive $2.1 million every year from state-generated revenue:

$700,000 for Public Works to maintain roads, plow snow, repair infrastructure, and keep the town running.

$700,000 for the Fire Department to protect residents and respond to the enormous seasonal demand.

$700,000 for the Police Department to handle the crowds, traffic, and public safety challenges created by one of New Hampshire's busiest destination spots.

These funds should be dedicated to those departments, with major expenditures requiring public approval by the governing body.

THE QUESTION EVERY TAXPAYER SHOULD ASK

If the State profits from Hampton Beach, why are Hampton property owners paying the bill for the services that support it?

Why should local families subsidize a state-owned attraction while Concord collects the revenue?

HAMPTON DESERVES REPRESENTATIVES WHO FIGHT

The Select Board should walk into the Governor's office together and demand a fair deal—not politely ask for scraps.

Fight for the taxpayers who fund the police response. Fight for the taxpayers who maintain the roads. Fight for the taxpayers who pay for emergency services used by millions of visitors.

THIS ISN'T JUST A HAMPTON ISSUE

Communities across America know the story: higher levels of government collect the revenue while local taxpayers absorb the costs.

Residents work harder, pay more, and watch money leave town while infrastructure ages and budgets tighten.

Hampton shouldn't be treated like an ATM.

It's time for Concord to invest in the community that helps generate statewide revenue and ensure the people who live there aren't left paying the price.
