There was extensive coverage of this recently in the Globe (possibly Sunday). There were some quotes there that the repeal wasn't a "done deal" though. The problem is that a total repeal would apparently blow a big hole ($150 million?!) in the state budget. Not everybody in the legislature wants to go back to fighting over where to raise taxes or which programs to cut. I'm not sure what could have changed in the last few days to make those kind of problems disappear. So don't be surprised if this issue resurfaces.
