Patrick seeks tax freedom for cities, towns

The Boston Globe reports:

Governor Deval Patrick's administration is preparing a push to give Massachusetts cities and towns more freedom to raise taxes and fees, as a new report suggests Boston will lose talent and businesses to other similarly-sized cities because it is hamstrung by state constraints.

Amazing,the Globe thinks the ability to raise taxes helps an area become more competitive.No wonder why Massachusetts is in decline.How many electoral votes will Massachusetts lose after the next census?
