City Budgets

Incorruptible Mass

Please donate to the show!
Today, we’re tackling the issue of city and town revenue in Massachusetts. We’ll break down how state laws limit local revenue-raising options compared to other states and the impact these restrictions have on our communities. From the constraints of Proposition 2½ to the role of the state legislature and the Speaker’s power, we’ll unpack why Massachusetts cities and towns face these challenges and what’s at stake for the future.
This is the audio version of the Incorruptible Mass podcast, season 5 episode 62. You can watch the video version on our YouTube channel.

You’re listening to Incorruptible Mass. Our goal is to help people transform state politics: we investigate why it’s so broken, imagine what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and report on how you can get involved.
