Re: We are living this now... said by BosstonesOwn: but who is going to pay ? You can't ask us tax payers out in Boston to pop for your needs. Excuse me!
I live in Holyoke, the poorest city in New England. We are down $30M a year in overall taxes payed out to the Boston area, to pay for the Big Dig.
You would think since Holyoke is bad off, it would get more than it's fair share back, but for over 20 years, we have been raped by Boston. Also worth noting that Newton, roght outside of Boston, and the richest town the US, gets back more than it puts in. |
