I spoke to a Pangiotakos staffer just now and they are saying that while the final numbers on the current state of the budget are yet to come in, and they are still working on these issues, that Senator Panagiotakos would consider voting for the closure of the tax loopholes proposed in Patrick’s budget - in particular I asked about the combined tax reporting proposal - if they are needed. He is not specifically for or against it at this time, but is not ruling it out.
Given that Panagiotakos has just been given the title of acting chair of the Ways and Means committee, that is good news.

Sal DiMasi spent a half hour on WRKO this morning explaining why the House won’t consider it.
Fireworks ahead?

And where does DiMasi get off telling us what the House will or will not consider? Last I checked, he’s the Speaker, not the King of Everything.

That’s my point, Shawn. Just because it’s the status quo doesn’t mean it has to be.
