...that "tax differences between metropolitan areas have no measurable impact on industrial development." Instead, the MIT professor writes, the level of demand for goods depends on total spending, public and private.

In other words, the government city of Cambridge stimulates the state's economy just as much by buying videotape machines for the school as private citizens will by purchasing Betamaxes...

The man who once stood next to Howard Jarvis at a rally and promised to lead the-fight for a Proposition 13 in Nassau County is now promising to lead the Senate fight for Reagan's tax-slashing policies.

While such women as Senate hopeful Elizabeth Holtzman of New York and Rep.
