Finneran may have done the most damage to Question 4's hard-core opposition when he scoffed at
arguments that the estimated $200 to $470 annual savings for the average household is meaningless.
"That's a lot to any ordinary person," Finneran said. "Two hundred bucks is pretty good dough."

Grossman speaks with wallet
in backing bid to blunt tax rollback
All the potential Democratic candidates for governor in 2002 publicly oppose Question 4, Cellucci's initiative
petition to roll back the income tax rate from 5.85 to 5 percent. But only
former national party chairman Steve Grossman has put his money where his mouth is. Grossman donated $25,000 to the Campaign
for Massachusetts' Future, the committee opposing Question 4. He also donated $394 worth of "meeting
refreshments," and MassEnvelopePlus, the Somerville company he runs, donated
printing services worth $3,000 to the campaign.
