Budget season is coming up soon in the Massachusetts Legislature, and if legislators don’t act quickly, damaging cuts could be on the table.
Tax policy can get wonky fast, so let me give you the gist of it. When the federal government changes the tax code with new deductions and exemptions, Massachusetts incorporates those into our tax code. In last summer’s Big Ugly Bill, Trump and Congressional Republicans created a whole list of new, costly, regressive giveaways to the richest corporations. That means that unless Beacon Hill acts, those giveaways get added to MA’s tax code too.
That would mean a loss of almost half a billion dollars in the coming budget, with cuts to essential services on which we all depend. States across the country are already saying NO and opting out, protecting essential revenue, and Massachusetts needs to join them.
Join us on Wednesday for our next Spring Forward webinar where we will hear from Phineas Baxandall of MassBudget about what’s at stake and what you can do.
