I agree in the general case but NH has a special situation since most of the people falling down ravines trying to take the perfect selfie are from outside their taxing jurisdiction (so it's not like they're footing the bill at the end of the day) and much of their government operations are funded by fees at/near the point of service (as opposed to from taxes) so having a "rescue fee" kind of makes sense for them.
