The Herald reports Brad Jones' reaction to Deval Patrick's attempt to "cut taxes."
"House Minority Leader Brad Jones said he “laughed all the way to work” today after reading a headline indicating that Gov. Deval Patrick is seeking to cut corporate taxes with a proposal that would essentially drain hundreds of millions from firms in the short run, then phase in a 1.2 percent rate cut over three years.
“There is no way you can consider it a substantial (tax cut) when, at the end of the day, you’re taking nearly $2.3 billion from businesses, and giving them back $500 million a few years down the road,” Jones said."
