EXCISE TAX. Remember that scam placed on ever vehicle owner years ago? Maybe if the towns didn't STEAL that money and spend it wherever they want the roads and infrastructure would be in better shape. Massachusetts has never had a REVENUE problem but has always had a SPENDING problem.	-

One small example are the 40 or so MBTA and MADOT cars parked on 45 High Street Boston. Funny thing is they are there all day and after business hours they are all gone. I wonder where they go? Are they take home cars for MBTA & MADOT staff paid for with my dime? Ok, before anyone says it...."These employee's require to be able to respond to emergencies outside of T operating hours..." Listen. I and others I work with have to respond to my office in Boston for emergencies after hours. Guess what? My company would be out of business if they provided us all with company cars. They reimburse me for my parking, mileage or a taxi. Why can't government do the same.	-

An issue so unpopular that it would never pass as legislation so a work around is the only way. Wait! I remember! Same sex marriage! This bad idea was already addressed by Geoff Diehl and defeated as his signature legislation. Can anybody tell me what has brought it to the fore again just when the national economy is booming? DJT has taught us all what a tax reduction can do to a stumbling economy. Why would we hobble ourselves with a confiscatory gas tax? That just gives the bureaucrats more money to spend.	-
