Ballot Questions
VOTE YES ON QUESTION 1: Approve the Fair Share Amendment
Winning Question 1, the Fair Share Amendment, will ensure that our public schools and colleges receive a stable and sustainable flow of vital funds — one that will be constitutionally guaranteed. It will also provide resources for the state to fix our increasingly dangerous roads and bridges and fund other crucial transportation projects. Approving Question 1 will help our students and our Commonwealth by providing $2 billion a year — every year — while making our state’s tax system fairer. Multimillionaires and billionaires will pay an additional 4 percent only on annual income of more than $1 million. Ninety-nine percent of Massachusetts residents will not see their taxes increase by even a penny. Vote YES on Question 1!
VOTE YES ON QUESTION 4: Uphold the Work and Family Mobility Act
MTA members are encouraged to vote YES on 4 for Safer Roads. A yes vote on Question 4 will uphold the Work and Family Mobility Act -- a law enacted this year that allows qualified residents, regardless of immigration status, to obtain a standard driver's license if they provide proof of identity, date of birth, and Massachusetts residency, as well as pass the required driver's test.
Voting YES on 4 will help ensure that all Massachusetts drivers are properly tested, licensed and insured. It will improve public safety in communities throughout the state, allowing workers and families to safely make essential trips for purchases such as dropping off students at school and getting to work, medical appointments and the grocery store.
