Category: Taxes · State: Massachusetts · Source: Politicker.com
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. "Today we turned in over 15,913 certified signatures," Howell told PolitickerMA.com. "We don't know what the final count will be [since Galvin has yet to release the total count certified signatures], but we expect it to be higher than that number."
