Globe Can't Decide If Mass. Economy is Good or Bad

The Boston Globe has Bostonist confused this morning. We know what you're thinking. Anyway, today's edition brings word that Bay State tax revenues are plummeting in September and are expected to end the month $100-200 million short of projections. “September is always the month where you get your most revenue. So if we’re down significantly in September, that doesn’t probably bode well for the rest of the fiscal year, ’’ Senate President Therese Murray said Monday. A revenue gap might mean more budget cuts. It was just Sunday that the Globe told us Massachusetts was already experiencing "signs" of a recovery. Job losses were slowing, the housing market was responding, and temporary employment ranks were growing, the Globe told readers.
