WBJ Talk Back

SLOTS OPPOSITION

This respondent to our Sept. 2 Page One story, Crunch Time For Slots Parlor Players, believed we missed something in our reporting on the Millbury proposal. But, three days after the comment was posted to the web, the developers of the Millbury site had withdrawn their plans, citing the strength of the opposition.

The author should make a visit to Millbury and see all of the lawn signs in opposition to the slots (many of which have mysteriously gone missing).

TECH TAX: FRONT-LINE VIEWS

The extension of the 6.25-percent state sales tax to computer and network services drew comments from two professionals in technology services:

Many small-business clients, who are already operating under very tight budgets, may be even more reluctant to invest and spend money … This is bad for me … also bad for the client.

I think we should educate the rest of the country about it so they, too, can enact such a tax. Then it will take away the artificial competitive disadvantage it created here in Massachusetts.
