SUMMARY:Tech Bros Threaten Nurses\, Teachers and Elder Care Workers
DESCRIPTION:Enriching the 1% and bleeding the state budget is on the agenda for Massachusetts MAGA. Two ballot questions put forward by the Massachusetts High Tech Council and the Massachusetts Competitive Partnership would dramatically lower the state income tax and shrink revenue by billions\, causing teachers\, firefighters\, and police to be fired across the state.
