Page "Jeanne Shaheen" Paragraph 9

In 2001 Shaheen tried to implement a 2. 5 percent sales tax, the first broad-based tariff of its kind in history of New Hampshire.

Unlike neighboring New England states New Hampshire does not have a sales tax.

The state's legislature rejected her proposal.

She also proposed an increase in the state's cigarette tax and a 4. 5 percent capital gains tax.
