On November 4th, Massachusetts voters will be asked to vote on Question #1 - a reckless and binding proposal to eliminate the state income tax. This would eliminate at least $12 billion-nearly 40%-from the state budget. Such a cut would lead to draconian cuts in state services. City and towns would loose state aid, be forced to drastically raise property taxes, and cut services.

Clean Water Action is particularly concerned that the enforcement of laws that protect our air, water, and community health would suffer. Question #1 would force drastic cuts in "discretionary" state programs decimating education, infrastructure, public safety, and environmental protection.

Please join Clean Water Action and numerous other environmental, business, labor, parents, and faith organizations in opposing Question #1.
