What is the cost to consumers? I assume that not read more providing said information is because it is going to be more than most are able and/or willing to pay. Crushing your constituents with taxes... |

12/1/2019 | Christopher | Matera | Independent | Sutton | Massachusetts |
Whether this is a cap and invest, or a tax is immaterial. At the end of the process the consumer will be forced to pay more - thus making this fee, very tax like. Penalizing parts of the state... read more |

It is another ill-defined, pie-in-the-sky political boondoggle. It’s all about handing over more money to a bloated bureaucracy and generating more hack jobs. You are not fooling anybody. |
