By Kevin Landrigan
As high as local property taxes are here, New Hampshire slipped from second to third highest in the U.S., according to a federal report released Tuesday.
The Tax Foundation reported that Connecticut displaced New Hampshire as the second-highest taxed state in the region; Connecticut property taxes in 2008 totaled $4,603 compared to New Hampshire's total of $4,501 last year.
New Hampshire had been second highest over each of the last five years, according to the group's analysis.
