The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance today issued a statement following news that the ballot question to reduce the state income tax rate and strengthen the tax rebate law have surpassed the required number of certified signatures and are now positioned for the 2026 ballot.

As the deadline arrives for filing initiative petitions for the 2026 statewide ballot, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance is commending three newly filed proposals that would restore fiscal sanity, protect taxpayers, and bring long-overdue transparency to Beacon Hill.

The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance released the following statement thanking the three Republican state senators, Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), Senators Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), and Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) for publicly debating and voting in favor of protecting the voter approved tax cap and rebate law known as 62F.

Following a House vote that significantly waters down Governor Maura Healey’s proposed tax relief package and fundamentally changes the voter approved tax cap and rebate law known as Chapter 62F, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance issued a statement condemning lawmakers for failing to do enough to keep Massachusetts economically competitive and subverting the will of Massachusetts voters.

The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, the Fiscal Alliance Foundation, and Citizens for Limited Taxation announced today that they have partnered with the New England Legal Foundation and the Goldwater Institute to prepare to bring suit to enforce Chapter 62F of Massachusetts law, should such action be necessary.
