Legalizing marijuana in Massachusetts will endanger your children, change your neighborhood and make society a fearful place.
STATE HOUSE – The state's decision not to hold a weekend-long sales tax holiday in August led to "dramatic drops in local sales and hours worked," according to a Retailers Association of Massachusetts survey.
Eighty-six percent of RAM members surveyed said their sales dropped in August of 2016 over August 2015, declining by an average 24 percent. Three-quarters of retailers had reduced employee hours in August and half had reduced sales tax collections, according to the survey.
