The good news is we have no state tax; the bad news is we have no functioning state agencies.

If that was true then Massachusetts would have functioning state agencies, but they don't. What they do have are overpaid bureaucrats. I honestly hope people don't think a state income tax would improve NH's state agencies because a state income tax would only create larger state agencies that don't function.

How much does the highest paid state employee in Massachusetts make?

"Employees across the University of Massachusetts system overwhelmingly topped the list of the state’s highest earners in 2021, starting with Dr. Michael F. Collins, chancellor of UMass Chan Medical School. His overall pay was $1.35 million, including a base salary of $815,738 and $533,371 in other pay, according to state data.

Dr. Terence Flotte, provost and executive deputy chancellor of UMass Chan Medial School, trails behind Collins with an overall pay of $1.11 million, with a base salary of $860,519 and $249,696 in other pay."

I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised if the highest paid employee made over $250k. But why wonder about a single person when all the employees of the state of mass are making much much more than their counterparts working in NH.

NH state police make around 50k a year. Mass state police can make over 100k a year with traffic control overtime. NH Congresspersons make less than half of what Mass Congresspersons make. Every state employees income is available to the public. Look it up, check it out.

the figures you’re throwing around are bogus

NHSP : $54,500.

MSP : $ 62,300.

These are starting pay before construction details.

That's the base pay. After traffic OT some are making over 100k in Massachusetts.

Yet Massachusetts tax payers are getting an extra payout and NH is going after people that collected their less than livable unemployment.
