As Massachusetts voters prepare for the November election, five key ballot questions, including the future of MCAS testing and the regulation of psychedelics, will shape the educational and social landscape of the state.
The lack of contribution limits in Massachusetts allows for substantial financial backing in ballot question campaigns, illuminating the powerful influence of funding in shaping public policy.
Question 1 seeks to increase accountability by empowering the state auditor to scrutinize legislative actions, an initiative strongly supported by the Committee for Transparent Democracy.
Question 2's push to eliminate the MCAS graduation requirement highlights significant conflicts in educational standards, driven by the Massachusetts Teachers Association, while facing strong opposition.
