Strong support for TAX questions — KINGSTON’s ad blitz — STEIN’s disappearing millions 05/31/2018 06:59 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) BACKING FOR TAX BALLOT QUESTIONS —  A new poll out this morning shows a majority of registered Massachusetts voters back two key potential ballot questions: the so-called millionaires tax and the sales tax reduction. The WBUR/MassINC Polling Group  poll finds  77 percent support for the millionaires tax (57 percent of which is strong support), and 67 percent support for reducing the sales tax from the current 6.25 percent level to 5 percent — plus a permanent sales tax holiday.

31 May 18 AM It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News THE ONLY HONEST AMERICAN NEWS SOURCE LEFT - Increase my donation! You guys are pretty much the only honest American news source left. I don’t know why it is so hard for you to get stable funding. Heck, I don’t even live in the U.S. anymore and I’m willing to pay for this service. Go ahead and raise me to $30 dollars a month (I’m at $20 now I think). Sorry it's not much, but really a publication like this should not be relying on large donors. Good luck. / Greg, RSN Reader-Supporter Sure, I'll make a donation!
