New Mass. Taxpayers Foundation
analysis
calls Question 4 affordable
Will wonders never cease -- pigs must be flying after this!
The clueless Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation -- after its years of doom-and-gloom erroneous predictions -- has finally
admitted that Question 4 is doable -- that the money is available to keep the promise, rollback the 11-year old
"temporary" income tax, and still maintain the present level of government spending!
According to the most recent MTF study, when Question 4
passes the state can even continue to grow the budget at an annual rate of 4.5 percent!
The "fiscal risks associated with Question 4 are
considerably less than they were even at the beginning of the year," the MTF now recognizes.
You'd never know it reading today's Boston Globe headline,
"Tax-cutting initiatives
criticized," but that really shouldn't surprise anybody!
