00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: A proposed bill on Beacon Hill would allow base state

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: cities and towns to opt into a program which would

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: tax the sale of laquor by two percent and rechannel

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: those funds into addiction prevention and recovery programs. Good in theory,

Speaker 2: About the whole premise of what we built as a

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,759

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 3: don't think we're overtaxed. We kind of should be taxed

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: to pay for things.

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: But the lady's proposal doesn't fly with her.

Speaker 4: We struggle now as it is for everything we have

15
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 4: to buy. To add more taxes just doesn't make sense.

16
