""Yes, we're No. 1 in education. Yes, we're a safe state," said Chris Keohan, the spokesperson and consultant for the Taxpayers for an Affordable Massachusetts ballot committee. "But what does it tell you if we're losing people to states that are less safe, that have less level of education? It tells you that we're at a breaking point and something absolutely has to be done.""
"According to a Pioneer report, North Carolina reduced its individual and corporate tax rates from 2014 to 2025. In recent years, the number of new residents and jobs in the state has spiked. Between 2020 and 2025, North Carolina added 448,900 private-sector jobs, while Massachusetts lost 18,000."
Massachusetts voters may vote on a proposed income tax cut from 5% to 4% this November. Supporters argue it would enhance the state's competitiveness and affordability, while opponents warn it could jeopardize public programs and the state budget. House Speaker Ron Mariano has suggested potential tax increases if the cut is approved. Proponents cite high outmigration rates and point to North Carolina's tax cuts as a model for economic growth, contrasting it with Massachusetts' job losses.
