Taxpayers Waited Nearly 250 Days for First Serious Tax Relief Proposal

Democrats are talking about whether to hold a presidential primary debate focused on climate change alone. The DNC won’t commit to such a forum, but Gizmodo and New Republic recently announced the two media outlets will host a climate-centric debate in New York City.

Last week the Fiscal Alliance Foundation, our 501(c)3 sister organization, released the results of a study into the effects of H.2810, An Act to Promote Green Infrastructure and Reduce Carbon Emissions. This bill is the leading proposal to institute a carbon tax on the hard-working families of Massachusetts.
