Convenience Store on NH border

Imagine if you owned one on the New Hampshire border. Over the past year, you would have seen your cigarette sales disappear. Now if they add a deposit on soda and water, those sales will disappear. Then low and behold a gas tax, then everyone will not only buy their cigarettes, soda and water, as well as their lottery in New Hampshire but gas soon.

How can a convenience store in the northern part of Massachusetts will be able to survive this new taxes?

I have been wondering after that piece about Town Fair Tire that if a Mass motorist buys gas in Cow Hampshire......and then drives into Mass are there any sales/use/gas/road taxes that could be collected from the Mass consumer and/or CH gas station.

I thought I also heard on Friday that the state of CH may be going to court to stop Mass auditors from coming into CH on a fishing expedition for Mass sales/use tax. This entire fiasco has tentacles that reach far and wide.

TOGETHER WE CAN ......tax Mass back into the stone ages.....GREAT GOING ALL YOU dEVAL voterS WHO FELL FOR his empty rhetoric....after he used his clout with Washington re discrimination suits agaisnt Coke to parlayed his influence peddling into millions in Coke Stock options and then into a $32M (?) Berkshire Manse..........wonder how many pajama people get invited out there every August with all of Howies Carrs beautiful people guest.whata farce & a charade

Too bad Murray couldnt do similarly with his losing anti discrimination suit against St Gobain....talk about killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

What was 3 times for Tim to pass the bar............and 6 times for John Conte?? If you cant succeed in your field run for office

Jahn, by calling NH Cow Hampshire are you suggesting that Worcester County is more dense, urban, and metropolitan than ANYWHERE in New Hamphire? You aren't right?

Worcester County may as well be Cow County.
