So if you buy a sandwich, it's taxed, but if you buy cold cuts and rolls, they're not. If he's taxing food that should be exempt, I'd turn him in. But he might just be following the law. Kid,

It also allows some bloggers an opportunity to match a face with a web handle which could come in rather handy in times of needed routine disciplinary action! *** Time will tell all. *** ***Well I guess more holiday &/or any other OIB gathering pictures will be a great way of showing other bloggers just what a great time they’re missing by not attending!

One of them, Nick's Grocery, on the corner of Fairfield Avenue and Fox Street, has taken to charging sales tax on food items. This is a big no-no, as is charging sales tax and deposit on a paper carton of orange juice. (Last I knew, the paper cartons get thrown out, not returned for deposit.)

The Congress Street bridge needs to be rebuilt. At the present time it cuts the city in half. 2. The Poli & Majestic need to be demolished. They have stood vacant for over 35 years and they are an eyesore. They will never be developed. The downtown area is so rife with political BS I am surprised anything got done at all. Congrats to Mr. Anderson. I agree with Nancy Hadley on most of what she says; however I disagree with her on a few items.
