MA property taxes: Bill could require Harvard, MIT to pay more

Wicked Local Cambridge, Somerville and Medford advocates are organizing with legislators across the state to ensure that large nonprofits, like Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, pay their fair share in taxes. Locals may be familiar with the term PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes), which calls for voluntary contributions by large nonprofits in exchange for not having to pay standard property taxes. Cambridge has PILOT agreements with Harvard, MIT, Hult International Business School and Lesley University. Right now, Harvard pays Cambridge about $4.3 million annually in PILOT, while MIT pays approximately $2.2 million, as well as other cash and non-cash community benefits.

What Cambridge s Public Safety Task Force hopes to accomplish

What Cambridge s Public Safety Task Force hopes to accomplish Maxwell Bevington Wicked Local At 5:30 a.m. on a recent rainy Wednesday morning, Councilor Marc McGovern’s doorbell rang. A homeless man was at his doorstep, soaked, and looking for someone to help him find a place to stay. Shelters were at capacity. McGovern said the only thing he could do is call the police department, but the man said he did not want police involvement and left to find shelter elsewhere. If only there had been another service to call, McGovern said. This is the sort of situation the new Public Safety Task Force is hoping to address. Appointed Jan. 7 by City Manager Louis DePasquale, the task force has 14 members not including co-chairs McGovern and Councilor E. Denise Simmons who live and work in Cambridge.
