Last night's Ledger had a story about a group of residents fighting against the override. Matthew Sisk, former candidate for State Rep, and a Quirk lackie right now hasn't paid one dime in real estate taxes in Braintree (he still lives with his mommie)and yet, he's the president of this fraud group. IN that Matthew hasn't paid taxes himself, he knows not our pain of those who do. Talk about weakspeak headline grabbers, Matthew takes the cake. Here we go again with this fraud preaching to us taxpayers. Give it a rest Matthew and Jeffrey White of the Ledger, ''you've been had''!

Its obvious
Its obvious your private detective spying on Matt has looked lately. Otherwise, you'd know that he is a property tax-paying homeowner. Or are you just working from the same old tired threads that have been used in the past?
Come on Herbie Boy, if your going to sling mud, make sure your aim is true. Facts are a beautiful thing - why don't you get some next time?

Matthew is Doing the Right Thing
Matt is doing the right thing speaking up for the many many taxpayers who have voted NO on any override actions. He has the stones to go public with his convictions and should be publicly supported.
One thing is true, there are at least 50% of the voting public who DO NOT want any kind of any override or increase in our real estate taxes.
This is a very large group of taxpayers who should support Mr Matthew Sisk.
I believe that this is a core group of voters who consistently vote NO on overrides, but don't like to go public.
Then, however you do it, through your neural networks, groupthink, email or whatever...support Matthew.
I say NO to increased taxes until this town gets it right and makes the cuts and close the stream of cash going to feed its un-quenching largess.
Pay raises and more, more, more, more and more money is all I hear every year from all the smug burgeoning budgetbusting department heads....
There's got to be another way to raise the revenue instead of putting it all on the residential home owner.
When you think about it, State cuts to local aid is really shifting the relative ease of statewide revenue raising to the burden of having to raise that same revenue, but onto a smaller base of local town real estate tax payers. You are worse off after your state income tax cut.
Keep pushing the burden somewhere else until government unburdens you with their unsatiable appetite. Government has to get smaller and stop doling out all those raises.

Does who matter?
Matt speaks his mind. Therefore he offends somebody. We don't agree on much except increasing the burden of proprty taxes is not the answer to our funding, spending and priorities problem.
I would spend less and differently, while Matt would just spend less and tax less at all levels corporate, personal, rich and poor.
It would be more convenient for some if controversial characters such as Matt and I didn't get out front on these issues. Often, and this is one of those times, people like to focus on the messenger due to their lack of compelling arguments. Like those who continue to call Driscoll ''Pizza Boy'' instead of dealing with him on the issues.
I'm with Matt on this one.
