That Boston Bias
Today's Boston Globe story on the Tennessee governor's race reeks of pro-income tax bias. Memo to Boston Globe reporter David Schribman: There are well-qualified economists in Tennessee who think the state's tax structure is plenty adequate and an income tax would make problems worse, not solve them. Dr. William Ford at Middle Tennessee State University, for example. Perhaps the next time you do a story on Tennessee tax politics, you'll give him a call ... and write a balanced story.
