Cambridge politicos lick their chops

At the prospect of squeezing more bucks out of hapless Cambridge restaurant goers. Check out this juicy tidbit: City officials interested in taxing restaurant meals

Seems that our generous new governor wants to pass a bill allowing cities to raise the meals tax by 2%. Guess the reaction of Cambridge political hacks.

The bill has garnered support from local officials, who said that the tax would diversify the city’s revenue options, which currently relies heavily on property taxes.

Funny, never, but never, a word about lowering taxes by cutting back on pork. Say, the "Peace Commission"(about 80 K yearly), or "Affirmative Action"(read: racial and ethnic quotas), which comes in at 94 tho a year.

While we're at it, how about a ten percent across the board cut in city expenditures. Can anybody truly believe that there isn't at least that much fat in city programs.
(most likely it is closer to thirty percent)

Oh, and since it is tax time, wonder how many Massachusetts liberals opt to put their money where their mouths are and pay their taxes at the voluntary 5.85% rate?
