Deval Patrick in public opposition to the proposed income tax repeal that'll most likely be on the ballot in November. Working for the repeal is a good job if you like underdogs. Big Labor is against it, Murray tried Thursday to recruit Big Business to fight it, and if Paul Guzzi and Bob Haynes get on the same side and it's not yours, well, you've gone and got yourself triangulated. While the governor had announced last week that he would campaign against the proposal, DiMasi warned this week that he might stand in the way even if voters did approve it, and then Murray got all mathematical on us and said income tax accounts for 40 percent of the state budget. Have a good summer, Carla Howell. Sure, everyone who's anyone on Beacon Hill is against the repeal of the income tax, which Governor Patrick famously called a "dumb idea" -- including, apparently, the folks at State House News. But don't you think that's exactly why it does, in fact, have a snowball's chance in hell of passing? What better way to send a message about being fed up than to vote for something that every single person on Beacon Hill opposes? Personally, I doubt it'll pass. But I think it'll be close. Declaring that it has "no chance" strikes me as more than a tad premature.
