IPCPR Legislative Alert Massachusetts
In the wake of yesterday's announcement by Massachusett's governor Deval Patrick to raise tobacco taxes, the International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers Association has issued a Legislative Alert.
by Chris McCalla, IPCPR Spokesman.
January 27, 2010 - As we previously announced, the Governor has proposed in his 2011 budget excessive tobacco tax increases. We have launched two Legislative Action Alerts for you and your customers to voice your opposition; the email option so you may send a message to your legislators and governor, and a phone call option (links provided below).
It is important to note that this is only Gov. Patrick's proposal--there is no bill number. Our goal, working in conjunction with the Cigar Association of America (CAA) is to stop this proposal before it is filed and considered in the state legislature.
Take action now! Click on the following links to tell Massachusetts' legislators and the governor NO NEW TAXES!
