Or at the very least, use some of those millions the city and state are giving you to print up some fliers to alert neighbors you're about to blow up Boston Harbor. Fabulously Out There and her dogs recover from last night's unexpected artillery barrage over the harbor - set off from an Eastie pier:

Shirley Kressel reports the state yesterday approved a $22.5-million tax break for Liberty Mutual over 20 years to build a new office tower at Columbus Avenue and Berkeley Street. That's on top of the $16-million, 20-year break the city will likely give the project now that the City Council has signed off on the deal (with Yancey and Turner opposed).

Ramshackle Salvation Army building: To become sparkly new corporate headquarters?
Boston city councilors today generally backed a proposed city/state deal to grant Liberty Mutual 20 years' of tax breaks to build a new headquarters in the Back Bay, but said the insurer's CEO really should take his foot out of his mouth and stop comparing Boston to Venezuela (assuming the Herald quoted him accurately, which councilors Feeney and Linehan doubted). Residents, however, objected to giving a very profitable company money for building on a "blighted" property. The company itself said it has no plans to move out of Boston no matter what happens - but might not expand without the tax break.

John Keith pulls up the records from the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance on Liberty Mutual-related donations to Tom Menino between July 1 and Sept. 1, 2009.
It was during this period that the company was busy buying up two Back Bay parcels on which it said yesterday it will build a 25-30 story office building, for which the city will kick in $16 million in tax abatements over the next 20 years.

You know those Liberty Mutual "what goes around comes around" commercials, the ones that start and end with the Liberty Mutual agent keeping a guy from getting flattened by a speeding truck in some grand circle-of-life chain of goodness? Jeff Egnaczyk notices that in one of them, the good deed is that a woman in an SUV decides not to run over a dog. Apparently, Commerce Insurance customers speed up for dogs and old people.
