Eh. I’m fine with it. I didn’t even realize that there isn’t currently tax on candy. Other states have taxed candy for decades. I’d be surprised if this costs my husband and I $25 a year.

It’s disingenuous for Healey to claim it’s not a new tax; candy is currently exempt from sales tax so this legislation would remove that exemption. It’s not like Massachusetts is going out of its way to impose a new tax especially created for candy, but it would lose the exemption, so it would go from not being taxed to being taxed (and costing consumers more) which to most people sounds like a new tax.

Why can’t politicians just shoot straight?

I think it’s a fair idea. No reason why candy should be sales tax exempt and not like most families individually spend enough that it’ll meaningfully affect their finances…and if it does and they cut candy consumption as a result, still a win for the state 😅

Taxachussetts. Chill with the taxes already.

Well, we tax cigarettes, liquor, CBD etc etc - and raw sugar is taxed too. Does seem odd that candy had been exempt (we don’t buy much candy). But agree - if it hasn’t been taxable and now it will be - that sure sounds “new” to me.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
