BOSTON Hot-button ballot questions related to taxes and immigration policy in Massachusetts were still too close to call late Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning.More than three hours after polls closed and with almost half of votes counted,.
Opponents say Question 1 will direct much-needed money to Massachusetts schools, public colleges and universities and transportation systems. Proponents argue there’s no guarantee those dollars will reach their targets.
Voters will decide this November on a measure that would impose the tax on income over $1 million. Supporters say it would raise needed revenue for road.
The Fair Share Amendment “will allow Mass to improve transportation and public education by making the very rich pay their fair share.” Kraft has other plans.
More than half a decade after supporters launched their first effort to put a ballot question imposing a higher tax rate on wealthy households before voters, the campaign shifted into a new gear Wednesday morning.
