Ross Berry, a member of the New Hampshire State Legislature, posted several messages on his social media account on October 31, 2025. In his posts, Berry addressed misconceptions about state legislators and referenced recent tax rankings for New Hampshire.
In a post published at 13:55 UTC, Berry stated, “I am neither wealthy nor retired. People serve in the State Legislature in NH as a form of community service, no different than selectman or cemetery trustees. Sure, we disagree on politics, but I have never doubted the purpose of my colleagues.”
Later that day at 16:16 UTC, Berry shared information regarding state taxes: “NH #3 on Taxes-https://t.co/pZ0iu3Z0QM My response: https://t.co/PtuAiVQakB” He followed up with another post at 16:21 UTC linking to an additional resource: “Also https://t.co/FZ1AsWPeAq”
Serving in the New Hampshire legislature is considered a part-time commitment and members receive minimal compensation compared to many other states. Many legislators hold outside employment or are retirees. The state’s tax structure is often highlighted as one of the lowest nationwide due to its lack of broad-based income and sales taxes.
