Evidence for this?? Mass. is clearly losing population. Many folks say they are leaving because of taxes and housing costs. They leave, and demand for housing decreases so housing costs decrease. We call this "the marketplace".
Now, if the state would only do something about the taxes, we might stop losing population. But this talk about a "sluggish economy" is just an attempt at misdirection.
If I had not left Mass. it would have only been 41,999 residents fleeing the State.
Its not just the taxes, the Kennedys, its also sitting on RT 128 every morning. The traffic stinks at all hours.
I do miss the steak tips and lobster rolls however.
Thank goodness I can get Harpoon IPA in NC.
It might also help if your Senators weren't an embarrassment to the human race - or whatever race they are part of.
Shalom.
