| Time to take back what is ours Verizon has a 50 million dollar tax break, every year, since 1915. Granted, 50 million today is only about 2.5 million in 1915, but amortizing that money over 90 years would give us a total tax benefit of about 24 BILLION dollars. I say it's time to retroactively tax verizon for the 20 billion they have stolen from us, and use the money to wire EVERY home in the state. there are about 300 towns in MA. I can guarantee you that every town could wire every house with the 80 million each town would get. It's time to stand up, and take back what is rightfully ours from the fat cat megacorps.

Verizon is just one of many who do not have to pay property tax on properties they own. I feel that the Non-Profit exemption is one that needed to go a long time ago.
There are Non-Profit hospitals all over the state that have annual revenues of a billion dollars and up. None of which pay one cent in property taxes on any of those big expensive buildings, land, and all that expensive equipment inside.
Verizon is just one of many who aren't paying their fair share.

Legally you can not recoup taxes on the form of lists filed with the state of MA. Once a fiscal year is closed, it's closed. Even federal court can only go back 3 years. |

Right, because adding additional expense to the health care system is exactly what this country needs!  |

When that healthcare organization posts a $90 million profit for the year, I fail to see a problem. They need to pay their fair share.
