New Hampshire threatens border regions
Legislators say they will file bills next year to expand the state. One proposal would declare the towns of Kittery and Berwick, Maine, part of New Hampshire. The two states have fought over the border for decades in a dispute over who owns the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. | Obviously as a base of operations for the New Hampshire Navy |
Another bill would welcome Killington, Vt., whose voters approved a plan to join New Hampshire because of a tax dispute with Vermont. | Sure, they "say" they just want Killington. Next thing you know, they'll be annexing all of Vermont into the Greater New England Co-Prosperity Sphere! |
The Vermont and Maine legislatures also would have to approve the proposals. Their approval isn't seen as likely.
