Massachusetts is notorious for taxing the hell out of anything; for example, if you live in New Hampshire (which has no income tax and seems to get along just fine) but work in Mass. then you must pay Mass. income tax just as if you lived there. If you maintain a legal residence in your old state (e.g. at a friend's house or a relative's house) then I believe this is legal. Besides, when you are stopped for speeding they'll never be able to collect on the out-of-state tickets... -- John Gilmore {sun,ptsfa,lll-crg,ihnp4}!hoptoad!gnu jgilmore@lll-crg.arpa "You've been in the pipeline, filling in time"
