Sen. Kerry to pay Mass. tax on yacht docked in RI
By GLEN JOHNSON (AP) – 2 hours ago
BOSTON — Sen. John Kerry moved to end a controversy over his decision to base his new $7 million yacht in tax-free Rhode Island, informing the Massachusetts Department of Revenue on Tuesday that he would "promptly" pay taxes as if the vessel were docked in his home state.
the people spoke, and he listened. good! so glad the news broke on this last week; i really think the story getting out and causing such an uproar is why he's now paying. but, he's paying, and that's the most important part.
