Sales Tax

Just because you raise taxes, it does not necessarily mean you will get more income. Case in point, the dollar per pack increase on cigs last year. Now this year, we have the new 6.25% sales tax on aclohol.

In case you have not seen it, please read Howie Carr today. State Rep Michael Rodriguez (D-Westport), who voted for the sales tax, was seen loading up his car with personal House License Plate-29, with booze.

Not his fault, however, he has blamed the Masssachusetts Republican Party???? He went on to explain, "Unfortunately, I think that's why the Republican Party is in such bad shape in Massachusetts," Rodrigues told the newspaper. "The electorate here is smart enough to figure out what they're up to."

Although it's highly unlikely, it's possible he was going someplace in NH and did not bring the booze back to Mass.
