When the Boston Globe finally tanks (hopefully this weekend) Cadillac Deval's ratings may really nosedive. The Globe has been his major advocate since he came on the scene in these parts. He is a complete shyster after all.
Massachusetts is about raise the Sales tax, new taxes on candy and just about everything else as well. Chiefly the toll increases on the Mass Turnpike, and the Boston area tunnels & bridges. The gasoline tax will increase by 19 cents per gallon. The Legislature will cut that in half probably in order to appear "responsible."
When all that fails as well to balance the ridiculous budget here, they will invoke EVERY SINGLE OTHER REVENUE ENHANCING notion.
That includes the highest gas taxes in the nation, the soon to be highest state income tax, and fees increases on everything imaginable.
I really do not believe that my neighbors are going to put up with this BS forever.
Knocking out the Boston Globe is a stealth bomb on Massachusetts politicians. Even though they realize this, they are still not able to do much about it.
Things can change quickly though.
Good synopsis. Things are changing quickly and we need to be ready to pick up the pieces with new faces and common sense solutions.
