Response to article in The East Bridgewater Start

This blog entry is a response to the article, For some, meal tax tough to swallow, written by Paula Vogler. Governor Deval Patrick has proposed implementing a one-percent meal tax to help raise state revenues. I understand the state is in dire need of money; however, it would be unfair to tax restaurants because the restaurant and consumer will be negatively affected. Restaurant owners have already felt the effects of the recession with a decrease in business and Paul Bello of Chili Head Barbeque in West Bridgewater believes that “the additional tax burden will keep customers away.” He is right. Families are struggling with job loss, higher taxes, and inflated prices on everything from food to clothing. If this tax is implemented, this is another burden placed on families. Citizens are already faced with higher taxes due to the bailouts of the finance and automobile industries, and this new meal tax, if implemented, will keep families away. A one-percent meal tax seems small but it’s money. Money coming out of my pocket. I already tip twenty percent when dining out and now the Governor wants me to pay more? No way! I will eat at my house and step my cooking game up. You can call me Mr. Emeril or the Greatest Chef to Ever Live.

Celtics defeat Vikings (Example of Print Plus)

The East Bridgewater Vikings demolished the Boston Celtics last night 100-60 at the TD Banknorth Garden.

Ned Hannigan scored a game-high 36 points for the Celtics on 12-25 shooting. Also, point guard Martin Nugent dished out 7 assists, while scoring 15 points.

The Vikings improve to 12-0 on the year. At this pace, the Vikings should earn a top seed in the state tournament.

Both teams resume play next Wednesday. East Bridgewater takes on Mashpee at home. The Celtics fly to New York to take on the Knickerboxers.
