In the News: SPOA Resists Wu's Doubling Down on Failed Tax Shift Proposal
After the Massachusetts Senate defeated Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's controversial tax shift proposal that would have harmed Boston's most vulnerable sector, Mayor Wu is attempting to double down on her failed and unnecessary proposal once again, rather than trimming her wasteful budget — the latter of which would have negated the need to raise taxes on anyone. In response, SPOA has continued its advocacy against this proposal for the good of small business owners and all other stakeholders who would be negatively impacted in Boston, as well as state-wide. SPOA's recent statements, which have received media attention, also point to how Boston's lower-value properties are grossly over-assessed by the city in their property tax valuations.
