Mass. Voters reject income tax repeal

The Boston Globe reports:

Carla Howell, the former Libertarian gubernatorial candidate who led the effort to repeal the tax, blamed the defeat on the fund-raising gap.

"The teachers unions spent 100 times more on advertising than we did. The message to voters: advertising works," said Howell, chairwoman of the Committee for Small Government, speaking to a crowd of about 20 supporters at Ken's Steak House in Framingham last night.

Teachers unions sure like taxes since their salaries come from them.
