question.

Recently the Massachusetts legislature enacted a statute that
would allow municipalities to institute LOCAL OPTION TAXES, which are
basically surtaxes over the state sales tax meals and lodging in within the
municipality. For example, the state meals tax is currently 6.25%. In Boston, the
meals tax may be 7%, with 6.25% qoing to the Commonwealth and 0.75% to the
City. Do you think it is wise for municipalities to tax consumption during an
economic downturn? Does this open the floodgates to localities passing all types
of additional taxes? To local income taxes?
