Salem News: Question Three

Printed in THE SALEM NEWS 10/02/2010

Question Three is a proposal to reduce the Massachusetts sales tax from its current level to around 3.55%. Needless to say, there is a lot of debate about that. The NEWS actually used this cartoon in an editorial by Citizens For Limited Taxation Head Barbara Anderson. Note I decided to do a "classical" take.

Salem News: Garage Fail

Published in the 09/17/2010 edition of THE SALEM (MA) News. The city wants the MBTA to help build a new parking garage at the Salem Depot, But as usual, what the city wants and what the State can afford are two different things entirely. The city wants a attractive garage (to lure tourists) w/handicap ramps, coffee shop, weather protection, etc, while the State only wants the very bare basics..levels of cement..The quote used in the cartoon was actually used by Salem Mayor Driscoll.
