House Poised To Axe New Tech Tax

The Massachusetts House is expected to repeal the state's unpopular new technology tax when it returns from a two-month recess on Wednesday.

House Speaker Robert DeLeo says he won't support any new tax to take its place, and points to the state's half-billion-dollar budget surplus.

The six-point-25-percent tax on software services was part of the legislature's tax bill passed earlier this year.
