A Mass. State Rep. is crossing the border to buy alcohol in TAX-FREE New Hampshire!
....he was in NH purchasing alcohol instead of supporting Mass businesses and the 6.25% tax they just levied on us common folk...
I guess those who pass the laws need not abide by them. You would think that after hours of testimony from Mass businesses saying how the increased tax and the alcohol tax would hurt them by causing people go to NH would have had an effect on these weasels. But, alas, it's proof again that they have no conscience and only serve their own interests and themselves.

The country has a liberal elite which makes laws but doesn’t obey them, and lives in luxury thanks to the taxpayers.
Just replace the nobility with the political class and the clergy with the media/academia and stir with record deficits, high taxes and class war rhetoric and heat with islamofascism, illegal immigration and inflation till it boils...
According to redmassgroup.com. it is Dem. Rep. Mike Rodrigues of Westport.
Yes, he did vote to pose a sales tax on beer and wine.
So wouldn’t you think he would be intelligent enough to know that he should buy his booze in Mass. and pay the damn tax. Nooooooo, he is simply to cheap to even consider that. I wonder what his pay plus expense account plus state-provided vehicle add up to.
A pox on him and all those like him.
Westport has to be at least a 90 minute drive to NH. Jeez how much was he buying. A whole trunk load?
He used his state vehicle on a fact-finding mission to see what it’s like to buy tax-free booze in NH .....therefor no law broken.
If you click on the link they say several cases.
Hope so cause that would make him a bootlegger and the BATF would have to haul his ass away. Transporting liquor across state lines is a felony in this here Republic.
Remember, Massachusetts is the home state of the biggest bootlegging family in the history of bootlegging!
We have Pennsylvania legislators and families shopping in tax free Delaware all the time.
Well they have to make up for the shortfall in liquor taxes since The Swimmer has assumed room temperature.
Better get Sheriff Buford T. Justice on the case.
Someone just called Howie Carr and referred to the guy as Rumrunner Rodrigues, lol.
We are hearing a classic Howie show today!
Hackdom outings is his domain!
