"A high litany of woes - from high taxes to high cost housing - is driving many residents to flee Massachusetts"
"Between 2004 and 2006, the state saw a net loss of 120,000 residents between the ages of 16 and 65."

Many were disaffected by "the deep blue hue of the state's politics."

- All 10 US House seats are Democrats, as are both US Senators
Q1: Who is driving Massachusetts residents to flee our Commonwealth?
Q2: Who is causing jobs to disappear from our state?
Q3: Who do you hold accountable for this morass?
Answer to all three questions: Those on Beacon Hill in the entrenched party
Massachusetts cannot survive the carnage much longer. We need a change. Our state needs leadership. Paul Avella is that leader. Vote for Paul. He has a vision to retain, grow and attract jobs for our Commonwealth. He has the foresight and courage to call for a complete overhaul of the state's tax system. Paul has the guts to identify what needs to be done and the fortitude to carry it out. Vote for Paul Avella.
