A state education property tax rate of $2.325 (2011) per $1,000 of total equalized valuation is assessed on all New Hampshire property owners. An elderly exemption for property taxes can be age, net income limits, including Social Security income, and net asset limits. Property taxes can be deferred but accrue interest at the rate of 5% per annum. The deferred property tax may not exceed more than 85% of the equity value of the residence. The deferral is available (if granted) by the assessing officials, to any resident property owner who is at least 65 years old. For single homeowners 65 and older who earn less than $5,000 and married couples who earn less than $6,000, $5,000 of their property’s assessed value is exempt from taxes. In addition, the homeowner’s other assets besides the home must be worth less than $35,000. There is a Low & Moderate Income Homeowner’s Property Tax Relief program in New Hampshire. For more info on this refer to http://www.revenue.nh.gov/forms/low_mod_program.htm . You must own a homestead subject to the state education property tax; reside in such homestead as of April 1 of the year for which the claim for relief is made; have a total household income of (1) $20,000 or less if a single person or (2) $40,000 or less if married or head of a New Hampshire household. For more information, refer to http://www.revenue.nh.gov/publications/pr/documents/pr06212011.pdf. Call 603-271-2687 for details on property taxes or click here for municipal tax rates. Inheritance and Estate Taxes New Hampshire’s Legacy & Succession Tax was repealed in 2002 and is effective for deaths occurring on or after January 1, 2003. As a result there is no inheritance or estate tax. For further information, visit the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration site http://www.revenue.nh.gov/index.htm or call 603-271-2318.

June 3rd., 1942. Flight Lieutenant F. Perina of 312 Squadron (Czechoslovak) R.A.F., adds two victories to his score by shooting down a pair of Focke Wulf 190's over Cherbourg, France. This large aerial battle occurred as the Czech Spitfires were escorting Boston bombers on a raid to attack the docks, when they were 'jumped' by 25 Luftwaffe fighters attacking out of the sun!

Support of these bills through cosponsorship by other legislators is critical if they are ever going to move through the legislative process for a floor vote to become law. A good indication on that likelihood is the number of cosponsors who have signed onto the bill. Any number of members may cosponsor a bill in the House or Senate. At http://thomas.loc.gov you can review a copy of each bill’s content, determine its current status, the committee it has been assigned to, and if your legislator is a sponsor or cosponsor of it. To determine what bills, amendments your representative has sponsored, cosponsored, or dropped sponsorship on refer to http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d111/sponlst.html . Final action is expected in the next few weeks on several bills that would provide services and support to the nation’s veterans.
Grassroots lobbying is perhaps the most effective way to let your Representative and Senators know your opinion. Whether you are calling into a local or Washington, D.C. office; sending a letter or e-mail; signing a petition; or making a personal visit, Members of Congress are the most receptive and open to suggestions from their constituents. The key to increasing cosponsorship on veteran related bills and subsequent passage into law is letting legislators know of veteran’s feelings on issues. You can reach their Washington office via the Capital Operator direct at (866) 272-6622, (800) 828-0498, or (866) 340-9281 to express your views. Otherwise, you can locate on http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d111/sponlst.html your legislator’s phone number, mailing address, or email/website to communicate with a message or letter of your own making. Refer to http://www.thecapitol.net/FAQ/cong_schedule.html for dates that you can access your legislators on their home turf.

[Source: A Real Chief 21 Apr 08 ++] ********************************* Naval Term of the Day: “Bamboozle”. In today's Navy, when you intentionally deceive someone, usually as a joke, you are said to have bamboozled them. The word was used in the days of sail also, but the intent was not hilarity. Bamboozle meant to deceive a passing vessel as to your ship's origin or nationality by flying an ensign other than your own -- a common practice of pirates. ******************************** "It is better to understand little than to misunderstand a lot." — Anatole Franch (French novelist | 1844 | 1924) ******************************** Only the Air Force
