In the comments section of the article, the moonbats are being shouted down about 10 to 1.

Meanwhile 15 inches of fresh-packed global warming fell on Boston today. March 2nd!!

LOL!

Post of the day.

They absolutly deserve it in Mass. I say make it 20.

Boston...why not move to Cuba...at least you would get better weather...until global warming sinks the island. of course, but according to algore that might be until next year...try to stay warm until then...

Shoveled my driveway at 6am to get to work. Fluffy snow so it wasn’t that bad. Usually around where I am(10 mi. north of Boston) the snow is heavy and wet. This year it’s been colder and the snow is much lighter. Take that AlGore!

Oh, the blessing of TAXATION WITH REPRESENTATION have come to their fruition.
BTW, There is a delightful airport not too far south.
Also, there is a delightful airport not too far north.

If you park your car, you will be taxed to pay for your enormous carbon footprint.
But, if you drive a taxi or a truck all day long, you will pay no extra "carbon fee".

These politicians are not pursuing any logical policy -- they just want to see the world burn.

Look for many, many more Tax increases using the chaos of Global Warming as the up-front rationale. The Tax Grabbers are counting on the PC Propaganda of GW to slip them in everywhere they can. A thinly veiled Tax/Fee increase plain and simple IMO.

In a way this is a goods thing. It shows the triviality of the green tax concept. Discouraging people from driving to an airport with a green tax is insane. All future green taxes will be suspect as they should be.

Manchester to the north. Much easier to deal with.
T.F. Green in Providence.

Boston- a great place for business meetings

Exra parking fees

Carbon Fees

Tolls to pay for the big dig fiasco

High hotel taxes

[jessduntno]

You left out the easy-to-navigate one way streets...and chronic construction...

[LostInBayport]

The Tax Grabbers are counting on the PC Propaganda of GW to slip them in everywhere they can.

And other propaganda...Coupe Deval is also proposing taxing sodas, candy, booze and the like under the guise of encouraging people to eat healthier. Bull...it's all about revenue. This guy trimmed less than 1% from his bloated budget and bleats about how we need to raise taxes to stay afloat...he and Obama must compare notes.

Just shoveled 10+ inches of global warming from my steps and sidewalks this morning...do I get a Global Warming Rebate on my taxes since it apparently isn't happening in my town today?

Southwest Airlines is about to move into Logan this fall, for budget conscious travelers. But while you may save money on
your flight, you’ll just lose it again on parking and other
fees. Let’s see, do I drive 30 miles to fly out of Logan
or 50 miles to fly out of Manchester NH? (Manch is cheaper
in long run.) Way to drive people away from Logan, Deval!

[raccoonradio]

Damn right! While I did fly Jet Blue (to Long Beach) out of Logan last year, usually I fly Southwest out of “Manchester-Boston Regional Airport”.

[raccoonradio]

Deval! I got a great idea for reducing the carbon footprints. Any idea how much gas is wasted, and all the pollution, from people’s cars idling at toll booths?

Save the earth—TAKE DOWN THE DAMN TOLL BOOTHS

[surrey]

We usually take the water shuttle, out of Quincy, when we fly. Of course ,the round trip ticket prices have gone up but it beats the ridiculous parking fees at Logan.

Mini-O strikes again!
