Why we checked itA specific causal claim that Ayotte's policies caused property taxes to skyrocket in New Hampshire — verifiable by examining property tax trends and state budget decisions under Ayotte's tenure.
What we foundNH property taxes have risen and some cost-shifting from state to local governments is documented, but the causal chain attributing this specifically and solely to Ayotte's actions is contested, the revenue-sharing reductions predating her tenure by over a decade, and her administration contends it sent record aid to municipalities.
