Massachusetts House passes tax cut package

en.wikipedia.org
The Massachusetts House on April 13, 2023 easily passed its version of a tax relief plan.

House plan is very similar to what Gov. Healey proposed

The Massachusetts House was heard from this week in the tax and spend debate on Beacon Hill.

On Thursday, the full House passed a tax relief bill that was largely in step with what has been proposed by Governor Maura Healey.

The Ways and Means Committee released a $56 billion state budget proposal that diverged in several ways from the spending plan sought by Healey.

For more on this week’s developments, WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Doug Howgate, President of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
