A ballot question that would reduce the sales tax to 3 percent is expected to be approved by the state attorney general today. “Taxes in Massachusetts are a back-breaking burden on workers, businesses that provide jobs and our families,” said Carla Howell charwoman of the Alliance to Roll Back Taxes, the group sponsoring the initiative. “Our tax roll back is designed to relieve the tax burden shouldered by 3.4 million workers.”
