Happy Tax Day, 2007!

This photo shows the tax day ‘receipts’ that I handed out on April 17th, 2007. The paper says the following below and was wrapped in a paper flag, then tied with a ribbon. I handed out 100 of these at the Capitol building and at the top of State St. I am now in the process of editing the film footage
