		<description><![CDATA[<p>The Boston Globe is reporting this morning that <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/01/29/patrick_proposes_broad_cuts_taxes">Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has announced he will raise taxes on beer</a>, as well as other alcoholic beverages (and candy and soft drinks):</p>

<div class="quote" style="margin: 10px; padding: 20px; background-color: #DDD">
<p>
Patrick would raise $75 million, for example, by increasing charges at the Registry of Motor Vehicles, including hikes of $25 for getting a title for a car and $2 to renew a license. Eliminating an exemption on the state's 5 percent sales tax on alcohol, candy, soft drinks, and juice drinks would raise $150 million and be placed in a special health fund. (Administration officials have defined a juice drink as one that is less than 50 percent natural). Patrick would also expand the 5 cent deposit charge on carbonated sodas, beer, and malt beverages to include beverages such as water and juice drinks.
