More Tax Cuts = Fewer Public Services

Cape Ann Indivisible and community members met with MA State Reps and Senators from across MA Congressional District 6, to discuss tax cut proposals (big ones for the wealthy, small ones for everyone else) resulting in broad cuts to the services we rely on. As Barbara Jo Krieger described it, “Fiscal policy is not abstract..it is lived reality. It shapes whether our public schools are fully resourced, whether families can put food on the table, ..and whether vulnerable children and working households receive the support they need.”

Fortunately, we do have options: advancing Corporate Fair Share legislation, decoupling from costly federal tax provisions, making responsible use of the Rainy Day Fund, and carefully evaluating proposed tax-cut ballot measures.
