Governor Shaheen's plan to pay for schools lowers the state property tax, and adds a new sales tax. Retailers are dead set against the sales tax, but the governor's Blue Ribbon Tax Commission (www.edufundingcommission.com)said this blend of taxes won't hurt New Hampshire's economy. Laura discusses the governor's plan with Judy Reardon, Jeanne Shaheen's legal counsel, and Liz Hager, Republican State Representative from Concord (http://gencourt.state.nh.us/ie/house/members/rephpage.asp).
