According to the state Department of Revenue, Massachusetts law states that if a resident purchases property, such as a boat, out of state and keeps it out of state, no taxes will be assessed. But if the property is purchased out of state and is brought into Massachusetts within six months, the Commonwealth will assume it was purchased for use in-state, and taxes will be assessed.Nantucket, obviously, is in Massachusetts. So where's the Commonwealth's cash? That's what reporters in the following video asked Kerry when he showed up yesterday at the South Weymouth Naval Air Station. Needless to say, it wasn't smooth sailing.
