Nelson board will seek to restore veterans’ benefit after state credit change
Summary
After a state notice removed a separate $500 disabled‑veterans credit, Nelson’s Select Board voted to add a warrant article increasing the town’s service‑related total disability veterans’ tax credit to $1,500 so affected residents retain the same overall tax benefit.
The Nelson Select Board on Aug. 20 voted to place a warrant article on the upcoming town warrant that would raise the town’s service‑related total disability veterans’ tax credit to $1,500.
Selectman Mike Blaudschun told the board that the action was prompted by a notice from the NH Department of Revenue eliminating a separate $500 disabled‑veterans tax credit; the board’s proposed change is designed to keep Nelson’s affected veterans at the same total tax‑credit level they previously received. Blaudschun moved to add the warrant article and Chair Brenna Kucinski seconded; the motion carried 3-0.
The minutes do not include the exact ballot language or the fiscal impact estimate for the town budget; the board recorded that preparing the warrant-article materials and ballot language is a follow‑up task. No public comment opposing or supporting the change was recorded in the minutes.
Next steps: the Select Board and town staff will prepare the formal warrant language and any required fiscal-notes for publication before town meeting deadlines.
