After all the $$$ this state is giving away, to come back with this is an insult!!!
I mean, there is Wall Street, corporate and lottery favorites, golf courses, overpriced contracts to favored clients, primo tickets to the games, and WHAT ELSE?
How do you like a soft-serve swirly in the palm of your hands, Massachusetts residents?
"House Speaker backs bill to create sales-tax holiday
In a development that could be good news for shoppers, House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi says he supports a state sales tax holiday and will encourage House members to support a bill that could come up for a vote next week. The bill, if approved, would create the tax holiday for the fifth year in a row. David Falcone, a spokesman for Senate President Therese Murray, a Plymouth Democrat, said she supported the proposal. Becky Deusser, a spokeswoman for Governor Deval L. Patrick, said he hadn't made a decision yet (Globe staff)."
Aww, our government is so good to us!!!!
Gonna give us a one-day tax holiday, yay!!
How about GETTING RID of it for GOOD?
