The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance and Chris Carlozzi of the National Federation of Independent Business hosted a press conference via Zoom with several Massachusetts small business owners this morning to tackle the issue of the legislature’s 80% income tax increase amendment.

The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, Citizens for Limited Taxation, Dr. David Tuerck of the Beacon Hill Institute, Chris Carlozzi of the National Federation of Independent Business, and a bi-partisan group of state lawmakers including State Senator Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), State Representatives Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), David DeCoste (R-Norwell), Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) and Nick Boldyga (S-Southwick) came together for a press conference to warn the public about the upcoming ballot question proposed by the legislature that would amend the state constitution and allow the legislature to raise the income tax rate on specific groups.

The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance made the following statement today in response to the U.S. Labor Department releasing data showing that inflation continues to reach levels not seen since the early 1980s.
