Under cur rent law, all ·personal property, including furniture, electronic equipment, antiques, jewelry and works of art are not taxed as long as they are kept in the home but a tax is imposed on any per fonal property which is on loan to a charitable organization. The bill would exempt the property i;m loan to the charity. Supporters said this legislation was filed in 1esponse to several cases includ lng one in which a generous per son loaned a 19th century piano to a museum and was subse quently presented with a proper ty tax bill based on the value of the piano because it was no Jpnger in his home. They argued th,at charitable loans should be ~warded instead of penalized. Opponents said it is unfair to the vast majority of taxpayers for the state to offer this tax break to a narrow group of wealthy people tHat own works of art and an tiques. They noted that the Leg islature in 2002 repealed a voter approved ballot question that would help millions of taxpayers b~ giving them a deduction for d00ating money to charitable or ,,,ganizations. ~ · 1WWII DAY (H 1201) - The Senate gave final approval to and sent to Gov.

Mitt Romney's hopes for a more Republican state Legislature. ' 1 0 The effort started with high hopes. Romney recruited 134 MIGRAlNE· Republicans to run for the Legislature, the largest field in more than a decade. He said he planned to run a tatewide campaign under the banner SPECIALIST ., of refonn. It sounded like a smart response to a system that fa\ ored well known Democratic incumbents. But after putting a decent team on the field, Romney took him>elf out of the game. He spent much of the summer promoting his book on the Wmter Olympics and promoting hirnself in the national Republican Party. He made some campaign appearances around the <.tare on Mon day, but the weekend before Election Day he was in Ne\\- Hamp~hire . campaigning for George W. Bush. The weekend before that, he was helping Republicans in Oklahoma ~d Michigan. Where were the TV commercials eaturing the popular and photogenic governor asking voters to give him e votes in the Legislature he needs .. ) to enact a reform agenda? Why wasn't his face on the campaign cards that clogged mailboxes across the region these last few weeks promoting I l Republican candidates? Instead, the cards sent out by the state Republican Party featured angry faces urging people to vote against Democrats, sometimes not even nam ing their Republican opponents. The statewide GOP campaign focused on divisive issues such as illegal immigration and bogus i ~ues like whether Democrats are sufficiently yigilant about keeping sex offenders out of schools. The result for Massachusetts Republicans was honid. 1be GOP. had a net loss of three seats in the state Legislature - one in the Senate and two in the House.
