Well, that’s pretty clear. 👀 Mayor Michelle Wu was asked whether Prop 2½ should be repealed or changed. Her answer: “Yes, it needs to be.” When the conversation turned to giving Boston more power to tax, Wu noted that other cities already have that setup and added that the “City of Boston would gladly do that.” For more than four decades, Prop 2½ has served as an important check on property tax increases and required local officials to go directly to voters when they want to exceed its limits. At a time when Massachusetts is already struggling with affordability, weakening one of the strongest protections taxpayers have against rapidly rising property taxes should be a nonstarter.

It's official: Maura Healey says cutting the income tax "doesn’t make Massachusetts more affordable." We’ve seen what her ideas on affordability have done to energy prices. Massachusetts families and businesses can’t afford any more of Healey’s "affordability" ideas.

Lunenburg voters reject override tax hikes 65–35. The response from members of their School Committee? “The public doesn’t know what they want.” “They’re not paying attention." When officials dismiss voters like this, it says more about them than the public.

State Rep. Danielle Gregoire thinks you're too stupid to know what you're voting for. At a recent meeting, a simple question about public records turned into an attack on the audit and the voters who supported it. 72% backed the audit. They understood.

Update from today's budget debate: In the middle of a cost of living crisis, Beacon Hill is increasing spending on legal services for illegal migrants. $5M ➡️ $7M in one year. But when it comes to tax relief for working families? Suddenly there's "no money." Priorities matter.

⚠️ When politicians say “new revenue,” taxpayers should hear one thing: They're coming back for more. Gov. Healey says she’ll “take anything under consideration” when it comes to new state revenue. Instead of looking for new ways to collect more money, Beacon Hill should be focused on broad-based tax relief, affordable and reliable energy, and getting spending under control. Massachusetts residents are already paying enough.

More Fireworks in Rutland 🎆 After town voters rejected a Proposition 2½ tax override, town responded officials canceled the Fourth of July parade, fireworks, and concert. The issue? The event was already being funded through private donations from residents and local businesses. It sure seems like it wasn't about money. Officials claimed staffing shortages made the event unsafe, but community members suggested bringing in outside help to handle those concerns. Even the Police Chief acknowledged that was an option back in April, but dismissed it as "not appropriate." So instead of using available solutions, the town chose to cancel the celebration entirely. Now the event is gone, and the donations raised for it are being kept by the town. Residents had the temerity to say no to higher taxes. Now, many feel as though they're being retaliated against.

Beacon Hill has increased state spending by billions of dollars in recent years. The state budget has grown from roughly $47 billion to more than $60 billion in just a few years. But when asked about reducing the income tax from 5% to 4%, Governor Healey's response was immediate: "Bad." For many Beacon Hill politicians, tax relief is always a bad idea. For taxpayers trying to make ends meet, it's a conversation worth having. #mapoli

🔥 Gov. Healey can’t have it both ways. She says cutting off energy supply is unacceptable, yet she blocked two natural gas pipelines. Massachusetts families are paying the price with some of the highest energy costs in America.

We’re living in the energy world Maura Healey laid out for us over a decade ago. Your run away utility bills and skyrocketing energy prices are the direct result of the policies she's been pursuing for over ten years. No amount of election year back peddling will change this. #Massachusetts #mapoli #greenenergy #alternativeenergy #netzero #energy

More footage out of Rutland... 🎇🧨🎇 At last nights meeting in Rutland, officials confirmed they were holding the town's Fourth of July celebration hostage. Residents were told that even if they raised the money themselves, the town would not allow the celebration to happen. Even if private citizens and businesses paid for the fireworks and staffing themselves, the police union would file a grievance. The town didn't get its way, the vote failed, and town is now making good on its promises. No parade. No fireworks. No concert. Even though the community already paid for it. Maybe they'll try to steal Christmas next?

Massachusetts now has a brand-new $91,000-a-year statewide “heat resilience officer.” So naturally, we had a question. 👀 How exactly is this new position, and the policies being promoted along with it, going to lower energy costs for Massachusetts ratepayers? Katie Schlick’s plans include changing building codes, expanding government involvement, and pushing the state further toward its net-zero mandates. That all sounds pretty expensive to us! Massachusetts families are already struggling with some of the highest energy costs in the country. They deserve to know whether all of this is actually going to make energy more affordable, or just add another layer of government while costs keep climbing. We tried to ask. Watch what happened. 👇

A new bill wants taxpayers to fund direct cash assistance and for noncitizens. When asked how long someone must live here to qualify, Rep. Cabral wouldn't give a straight answer because there is no residency requirement. How long before MA becomes a migrant magnet again?

🚨 The story behind Springfield’s proposed new courthouse is starting to unravel. Attorney General Andrea Campbell and others have repeatedly claimed the Liberty Street proposal would save taxpayers $300 million. But at a Springfield City Council hearing, one competing bidder directly challenged that claim, saying it is “simply not true” and presenting figures showing its own proposal would actually cost the Commonwealth $80 million less over 40 years. And that’s not the only question surrounding this deal. The selected development team has faced scrutiny over its experience, an alleged undisclosed conflict of interest has become part of ongoing litigation, and Springfield officials are now openly questioning how the Commonwealth arrived at this decision in the first place. One councilor put it pretty simply: Springfield should have had a much bigger say in a decision this important to the city. Massachusetts taxpayers are being asked to finance this project for decades. They deserve the full story.

🚨 On Thursday, the SJC ruled that the ballot question to reduce the income tax from 5% to 4% will not be on the November ballot, citing failure on the part of Attorney General Andrea Campbell to provide a fair and accurate summary of the question. “This is a disgraceful outcome for Massachusetts taxpayers and a direct result of the Attorney General’s failure to do her job properly,” said Paul D. Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “More than 100,000 residents signed petitions to put tax relief before the voters. They followed the process, did the work, and earned a place on the ballot. Now, because the Attorney General’s office produced a summary the court found to be significantly misleading, voters are being denied the chance to decide for themselves whether Massachusetts should lower its income tax.” This decision doesn't make Massachusetts more affordable. #mapoli

“The beaches are open.” 🏖️💩 That line was absurd in Jaws. It sounds even worse when millions of gallons of untreated sewage are spilling into the Merrimack River and beaches across the North Shore are closed heading into the Fourth of July. 🤢 At the same time, the Massachusetts Senate is moving forward with its latest offshore wind bailout, doubling down on an energy agenda that will only make bills more expensive. 💸 Clean water and safe beaches should be a basic expectation in Massachusetts. Instead, Governor Healey and Beacon Hill are prioritizing subsidies for unreliable, unaffordable offshore wind while core infrastructure breaks down. Massachusetts families deserve better than sewage in the water, closed beaches, and higher electric bills.

Governor Healey just delayed the Clean Heat Standard until after the 2026 election. Independent analysis shows it will raise home heating costs $255–$425 per year. If this policy is affordable & necessary, why keep voters from seeing the bill before Election Day?

Haven't we already seen this movie before? 🎬🤔 A massive government contract is awarded. Politically connected people are involved. Questions are raised about how the deal came together. The administration dismisses the concerns and tells the public that everything is fine. Now, the Healey administration is moving forward with a nearly $2 billion courthouse deal in Springfield that could commit taxpayers to 40 years of lease payments. The winning development team includes a firm led in part by the husband of Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and the interim executive director of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. Two losing bidders have filed a lawsuit alleging conflicts of interest and serious problems with the procurement process. Governor Healey says she has no ethics concerns. After the controversy surrounding the Applegreen highway service plaza contract, taxpayers should not be expected to simply accept another politically connected deal without scrutiny. No one is saying political connections alone prove wrongdoing. But when billions of taxpayer dollars and decades of public payments are at stake, the standard should be more than "trust us." The administration should immediately release the complete procurement record, explain how conflicts were reviewed, and pause the contract until the courts and the public have had an opportunity to examine the allegations. Taxpayers should not be locked into a 40-year agreement while serious questions remain unanswered. #mapoli

She stopped the pipelines. Then she didn't stop the pipelines. Now, in an interview with NBC Boston, Governor Healey says she did stop the two natural gas pipelines because "they were a lousy deal for ratepayers." However, according to this 2022 clip from a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission forum (AG Healey's office was represented by Rebecca Tepper at this forum), the pipeline deal that AG Healey stopped would have saved ratepayers $2,800,000,000 from 2018 to September of 2022. #Massachusetts #energy #mapoli
