JCBoston Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 They dont call it Taxachusetts for nothing. 174092[/snapback] Actually, the tax situation here has become, if not tolerable, at least bearable. If you happen to live in a town where Prop 2 1/2 overrides are looked upon skeptically, you'll be all right.
