@nbc10boston: Should there be a limit on how much money Massachusetts can collect in tax revenue? Actually, there already is, but as it stands we’ve only seen tax refunds come out of it twice in 40 years. Question 5 asks whether we should revisit the formula behind it all. Evan Horowitz with the Tufts University Center for State Policy Analysis breaks it down. #nbc10boston #decision2026 #massachusetts #news
I love how they skip over the part where we would get a refund if revenues are not strong. What is that suppose to mean, a scare tactic to not pass this?

what i under is that we get the refund because it puts the millionaires tax in the pool its currently separate. that tax currently airmarked for schools and infrastructure.
like he said this tax money will be taken from mass. so taken from schools and infrastructure that need constant updates and needs the updates

So we have had the millionaires tax for 4 years earmarked for schools and the reimbursement to schools has gone down leaving towns to ask for overrides. I’ll take my refund thanks. Maybe if we had an audit we could see where the mo ey is actually going [Eye roll]

Question 5 would also add income tax revenue collected under the millionaires tax, (voted on and approved in 2022, dedicated to education and transportation) to the state tax revenue bucket, thus using that revenue to calculate the state tax revenue limit and eroding the protection of its use for education and transportation.

This affects the millionaires tax. Vote no to keep millionaires tax for schools and transportation. Millionaires don’t need refunds
