“I’m sure Barbara Anderson is up there looking down on us with a grin
pumping her fist in the heavens,” said Chip Ford, executive director of
Citizens for Limited Taxation.
The
news that CLT’s (and the Massachusetts High Tech Council’s) tax cap,
approved by 54% of the voters on the 1986 statewide ballot, is eligible
to kick in for only the second time since its adoption is exhilarating.
It solves the situation of billions of dollars in tax overpayments, the
multi-billions in historic revenue surpluses, and who that windfall
rightfully belongs to.
Taxpayers have CLT under the tireless leadership of Barbara Anderson and
founding president of the MHTC Howard Foley to thank for their foresight
and the energy and commitment of the two organizations and its members
for this expected tax rebate.
