“Representation without taxation” could be this state’s motto, as one of only two states with neither general sales nor personal income taxes. Revenues come mainly from corporate income, real estate, tourism, and liquor sales. Property taxes, set at town meetings, fund schools and community services. A once favorable business climate lured computer companies to southern areas, but recession has hit most industries, yielding the highest levels of unemployment in years. The White Mountains offer skiing and hiking, and lakes and seacoast regions attract summer vacationers. New Hampshire boasts more forests and wildlife today than a century ago.
