Have they managed to achieve anything major? I work with a guy at one of

but they take that back in fees instead, so not a huge difference in the

Not really. afaik NH still doesn't have a sales tax or personal income
tax. There was a degree of localism. If you had kids and wanted an
excellent school system you picked a town with good schools -- and paid
for it with property taxes.

I don't remember any particular fees. There were some voluntary fees. For
example you could pay a nominal sum, $5 iirc, to register a back country
trip. No pressure and your choice but if you didn't pay it and ran into
trouble call somebody who cares. Search & Rescue wasn't coming.

The state was the last to officially recognize Martin Lucifer King Day.
There was an existing state holiday, 'Fast Day', and they didn't think the
state workers needed another day off. The unstated argument was why have a
black holiday in a state with no blacks? They finally elected a Democratic
female governor and the day was recognized.

The DMV wasn't big on reciprocacy. What happened outside of NH stayed
outside of NH as far as points on your license.

It started to change with the influx of Massholes.
