Patrick signed the bill
Our booze gets a big new tax
Trips to New Hampshire

Sales tax gets bigger
Deval wanted gas tax
Western Mass says no

If sales are down,
A sales tax increase won't
Fix the deficit

Deval made vetoes
Immigrants keep insurance
Bostonist says "good"

MBTA broke
Big Dig debt looms all places
But budget ignores

A one-time payment
From federal stimulus
Next year: no idea
