Patrick proposes gas tax, income tax hike, plus new taxes and fees
 [BIZJOURNALS] Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick on Monday laid tax and fee increases and new taxes on the table, including more than doubling the state's gas tax.But that's alright. Y'all keep turning out 110 percent Democrat. He's raising taxes to fund projects instead of maintenance on existing transit. Then he'll come back and raise taxes ... for maintenance on the new stuff. It never ends. He's seeking more than $1 billion a year in new revenue to fund projects designed to fund public transit and highway operations, reduce MBTA debt and borrow money to double infrastructure spending. Beacon Hill leaders reportedly signaled agreement. Posted by: Fred 2013-01-17 |
