I'm with Bailey

Boston Globe business writer Steve Bailey is simply one of the best in the business. He is a decent writer and just one hell of a reporter. He also is usually pretty smart and clear-thinking. I have no problem admitting I admire his greatness, and he's a lot better than me. Anyway, here's his offering today (and you really should read his "Downtown" column every Wednesday and Friday) about property taxes and the opportunity for Gov. Deval Patrick to make a "down payment" on his promise to lower property taxes. It'll never happen in a million years, maybe 2 million years, but Bailey has a point here. Enjoy.
