Senate Didn't Just Enact a Sales Tax

The Senate didn't just enact a sales tax last night.  Instead, in their redrafted amendment #46, they also took care of 93 line-items in what was, in effect, a consolidated amendment.  You can see the full text of the sales tax amendment in the frame below.  It's substantial.  Not only does it raise the sales tax and add 93 line-item increases, it also enacts an entirely new chapter, a state sales tax on meals (Chapter 64L of the General Laws).
