    School Budgets, Property Taxes, and One Question with Alex Tilsley

    There's a new, statewide question on this November's ballot and it sounds simple: do you want to cap your school district budget? Spoiler alert: it's not simple. At all. And you know Liz LOVES simple questions! In this episode, Liz talks with Alex Tilsley about how the New Hampshire Legislature mandated a local question on the statewide ballot (?) this November and AGAIN in November 2028 (??), and the law will disappear in 2032 (???), which is, frankly, a really weird sentence to write.  But, hey, at least it'll help lower property taxes, right?! ...oh.
