YIKES!! I dont have a problem giving tax breaks to bring jobs and more tax revenue to Mass. How many people out of state tourist will be heading towards Cabelas and Bass Pro before they head down towards the Cape, Islands and RI?? I hope the tax break is not true as i would like to see businesses choose to be here because of the potential for a high return on their investment.
