Speaking of the weekend. The Sunday Boston Globe had a story on the front of the "Money & Careers" section on this issue. The story was by Scot Kirsner (Innovation Economy column) with the title "Tech firms learning a hard lesson as new sales tax takes effect". This online story appears to be the same as the print version: http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2013/08/03/legislature-throws-tech-sector-under-bus/7YOKrKDnu0tIj6qHeGA16K/story.html Bill Bogstad _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
