Jamie Eldridge Senator Jamie Eldridge calls for Senator Stan Rosenberg to resign immediately I call on Senator Stan Rosenberg to resign from his position as State Senator, effective immediately. In addition, I urge the Senate Committee on Ethics to recommend stronger punishment for Senator Rosenberg, including immediate censure, and suspension of Senator Rosenberg as a State Senator. Today, my Senate colleagues and I read S.2510, Report of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Concerning the Conduct of Senator Stanley C. Rosenberg. I am deeply disturbed, appalled, and hurt by the actions of Senator Rosenberg, as thoroughly detailed in the Senate Committee on Ethics Report. I commend the independent investigators, and the members of the Senate Committee on Ethics, for their hard work, which is evidenced in this comprehensive report. From the review of the Report, conversations with my colleagues, constituents, and fellow Massachusetts residents, reading the Massachus...

International Tax Gimmicks

International Tax Gimmicks  Weekly Wastebasket | Dec. 15, 2017 Most of the discussion about “Tax Reform” has centered on individual and business rates. Far less attention has been given to international tax changes, even though they contribute more than $250 billion in revenue (over 10 years) to hold down the cost current proposal. A little background: The U.S. is one of the few countries that  imposes “worldwide” taxation. That is, U.S. taxpayers (both corporate and individual) pay tax on both their U.S. and foreign income (profits). Taxpayers can also deduct taxes paid to other countries, so taxpayers only pay U.S. taxes on foreign income if they exceed the foreign taxes. But, corporations get a special benefit. Corporations only pay U.S. tax on their foreign earnings when those profits are brought back (“repatriated”) to the U.S. Any profits left outside the US are not subject to current tax. Both the House and Senate...

POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: Praise for BAKER’s strong commonwealth — The business of #MeToo — PUERTO RICAN evacuee local housing woes

01/24/2018 07:06 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  ( ldezenski@politico.com ; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths ( bgriffiths@politico.com ; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. SURPRISE! THE STATE OF THE COMMONWEALTH IS STRONG -  Those expecting to be surprised by Gov.  Charlie Baker 's state of the commonwealth speech last night had to be disappointed. It was classic Baker: straightforward, stressing uncontroversial positives like bipartisanship, a double-down on the fight against the opioid epidemic, statistics coming from rankings that prove his point, no specific mention of President  Donald Trump , and a line about the  Patriots ' three Super Bowl visits over the last four years (which landed like catnip for the audience in the House chamber). All sought to make the case for a successful first term and  likely set the stage  for what will be his reelection argument. Outside of the State House, Democrats dismissed it. The ...
