European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 27, 1978, Darmstadt, Hesse The sky is Fauths t ". V my 9syfat8i Emons Rotor at Massachusetts statehouse a legislators consider tax Cut proposals. Are crippling important services provided by eminent town administrator Guy v. Lapriore 3 in vain Are Many reasons for the High taxes in Hassa use is that Many older industries have moved away j communities heavily reliant on property taxes ate has More programs for the poor and ill than � other states mandates Many programs for Whicha must pay and requires them to agree to Send All negotiations to binding arbitration. School commit fare autonomous their budgets rarely subject to it Public approval. We Ore absolutely handcuffed by state mandate programs says Brockton councilman Thomas Kennedy. What in t mandated comes under collective bargain ing. I can understand How people feel helpless. I feel Hel cities notably Boston have also been generous in granting tax exempt status to property owned by churches and colleges and Many taxpayers say there Are simply too Many government employees. All that adds up to a dramatic dilemma when tax cuts Are considered. If California s new one percent limit were applied Theta Bill on Boston s typical $40,000 Home would fall from $2,500 to about $400. But statewide property tax revenues would drop $2 278 billion or 77 percent As compared with a state sur plus of $200 million. In Boston alone they would plummet from $441 million to $39.7 million a 9ipercent drop Leav ing just enough to fund the fire department. So even with drastic cuts in services the stat would probably have to raise other taxes. But which ones doubling income and sales taxes could produce $2 Bil lion but Massachusetts already takes a higher proportion of state taxes from income taxes 46 percent than any other state. And state taxes have risen 40 percent faster than property taxes and twice As fast As per capita so what do you do state rep. George r. Sprague Republican has taken to simply urging caution these we Are going to do something along the lines of uie California amendment we must be careful to do it right.
