The growth of electronic tax filing has prompted DOR to make changes in the booklet of forms and schedules that are mailed to taxpayers. A minority of taxpayers, less than 300,000 out of 3.4 million tax filers, submitted state income tax returns on paper last year using the form DOR sent to them in the mail.
Those same taxpayers will receive a paper booklet in January, 2011, but it will be a slimmer version than in years past because it will not have printed instructions or duplicate copies of tax forms and related schedules......
It's worth noting that the federal Internal Revenue Service announced in October that it will no longer mail paper income tax packages to either businesses or individuals. In its press release, the IRS said it "was taking this step because of the continued growth in electronic filing and the availability of free options to taxpayers, as well as to help reduce costs."

After a recent staff meeting with you (Jeff Nutting) on November 23rd a three step approach was developed which we wish to pursue that will simplify the zoning bylaw amendment process and hopefully eliminate confusion:
1. Amend the Town’s Zoning Bylaw to include a new Downtown Commercial Zoning District;
2. Amend the Zoning Bylaw as it relates to the remainder of the Commercial I Zoning District; and
3. Amend the Town’s Sign Bylaw (185-20. Signs).
Foxborough architectural firm Kaestle Boos Associates is expected to present three plans to school and town officials in the spring that incorporate items from the recent three-day visioning meeting, Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski said.
"We spent a lot of time talking about what goes on in the classrooms and what is the best learning environment in a Franklin High of the future," Sabolinski said. "We understand that the scope of the project is not going to be a new high school. We were really looking at a renovation of the current space."
The group concluded that education would be more collaborative and project-based if there were many common areas for students and teachers to work together on projects, as is typically done in college settings, Sabolinski said.
"So nature doesn't create waste doesn't create waste as such. Everything in nature is used up in a closed continuous cycle with waste being the end of the beginning."
Attorney Gary Hogan said that state laws require Mullaney to disclose the conflict with the town clerk before the first public hearing, which was held in September. But, he filed the form on Oct. 26, Hogan said, so now he wants Mullaney to recuse himself from the vote on the project.
"He did the right thing but my position is that it wasn't filed timely and I think he's tainted as a consequence of that," said Hogan, who represented Eastern Management and Development LLC.
