Kerry Healey hosted a well-attended "Tax Freedom Day" news conference in the
Library Room of the Hampshire House with special guest speaker Barbara
Anderson. Massachusetts is the 6th-lastest state in the
nation to reach this benchmark, according to the Washington-based
Tax Foundation's annual report. Also speaking were House Minority Leader Brad
Jones (R-North Reading) and Senate Minority Leader Brian Lees (R-East
Longmeadow). As revenues again pour into the state's coffers
at a record-breaking pace, all called for an immediate rollback of the
17-year old "temporary" income tax hike to its traditional 5 percent,
as overwhelmingly mandated by the voters in 2000. |
