1 week agoMass. Senate rejects Wu's tax shift plan
Massachusetts senators rejected Boston's commercial tax-shift plan but approved a 'tax shock' bill allowing municipalities to offer rebates when property taxes rise above 10%.
At a community meeting hosted by Democrat Sen. William Brownsberger in Allston- Brighton on Monday, who co-led last year's opposition to stop the mayor's bill, residents were split between wanting Wu to cut the city budget instead of increasing property taxes and being upset at Brownsberger for helping to stall the city's tax relief legislation while the State House was struggling to make ends meet, according to The Boston Herald.
