It's interesting New Hampshire leads the way for interstate highways and it is a 0% income tax state. I live in NY but I went to New Hampshire last month for the first time. I have to say the roads were really good, even in more remote areas in the White Mountain region. Heck even the dirt road I had to go on for 1.5 miles was in good shape for a Hyundai Elantra rental car. On the flip side, the roads near me are really bad in some spots. It's torn up pavement with massive pot holes for years in a decently trafficked area literally 1 minute away from a major highway. | |||||||||||||||||

> It's interesting New Hampshire leads the way for interstate highways and it is a 0% state tax area. You're talking about the state income tax? It'd be unusual for any state to use much of that money for roads. There are a lot of other tax revenue sources dedicated specifically to that purpose. | |||||||||||||||||

It's simple: politics over people. NY's orgs (government or otherwise) steal all the tax money while pretending to be for the people, NH conversely does not. | |||||||||||||||||
