Ballot Initiative to Abolish Income Tax Will Appear on November Ballot

Fri, Jul 4 2008

Next November, Massachusetts voters will have the opportunity to cast their ballot to abolish the state income tax.

Secretary of State William Galvin Wednesday certified 12,000 signatures on a petition to put the initiative on the ballot. Though the requirement to appear on the ballot is 11,099 signatures, Carla Howell, the chairwoman of the Committee for Small Government and head of the movement, said her group far surpassed that criteria.
