Raising the state's sale's tax was supposed to trigger and economic "die off" that would leave the Commonwealth in a "Mad Max" style state of nature while New Hampshire would batten off the "retail refugees" from Massachusetts who'd surge north in search of chewing gum, toner cartridges and generic beer.
(Whew, best, Run On Sentence Everrrrr!)
If that is the case why are all these retailers tearing up the Mass Pike brandishing hard cash and eager to sign leases?
Hmmmm...Can't imagine what sort of explanation the Howee Carr's and Michael Graham's will have for this pernicious phenomenon...
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the soft recession Massachusetts' is having compared with the rest of the country, that we have money and are willing to spend it...Nope and NONE of that has to do with Deval Patrick's wise stewardship of the Commonwealth's economy, nope nothing at all.
