If you believe that you should have the right to vote on how your community is managed, then don’t vote for Bradley as he supported taking away the right of every registered voter in New Hampshire to vote on short-term rentals.
I had to laugh (not really) after reading this most recent NIMBY rant about the “right to vote”. I love it (not really) when people talk about the right to vote while happily denying the right to vote to those who own homes in town but live elsewhere, even as those non-residents continue to pay a huge portion (around 40%) of the property taxes they rely upon for their schools and police and fire and public works. Nooo…they revel in the thought that they can decide issues that directly affect those of us that pay, but can’t play. There’s a very simple and reasonable solution of course. It’s called Home Rule and allows non-resident, tax-paying property owners to vote on issues that directly affect their local property ownership. Of course that would mean the STR issue would no longer be a topic of conversation. In lieu of Home Rule, leaders like Jeb Bradley recognize what is fair and equitable and stand up for those traits.
