RE “Patrick would hike one tax, cut another” (Page A1, Jan. 17): Bravo, Governor Patrick, for having the courage to request more revenue for the Commonwealth’s transportation system and education programs. We have known for a long time that we need more money to improve both these systems. Our legislators need to take a serious look at the governor’s proposal and act on it, as soon as possible.
These investments would aid our limping rail and bus services and permit citizens in the southern and western parts of our state to have access to transportation that would allow them better opportunities to improve their lives.

judy, do you check off the higher tax rate when you file your return? Seems very few do. you want to pay higher taxes, be my guest. I, on the other hand would like to see some accountability from our government first.
Have we forgotten the plush office with the $4000 drapes? Seems like those who can afford fancy drapes vs. curtains are quite comfortable asking more & more from those who are already struggling through wage cuts, higher health care costs, few job opportunities and the endless fees on well, everything...all taking larger and larger chunks out of paychecks. Get a clue!

Now I know where all the Kool-Aid went.
