Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Approves Fair Share Amendment Summary Language
|
In a unanimous decision yesterday, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) ruled that the summary of the Fair Share Amendment as prepared by the Attorney General’s Office “fairly” describes the amendment and may appear on November’s ballot as currently written.
The ruling comes after a challenge from business groups claimed the language of the amendment is misleading and would confuse voters as to how and where the money generated from the surtax would be allocated.
The Boston Globe’s Matt Stout has more on the ruling here.

Massachusetts Estate Tax Reform in the Spotlight
|
In the last few weeks, legislative leaders have publicly signaled a willingness to address the estate tax with President Spilka saying as recently as Tuesday that the Legislature is in discussions to do so.
While the Legislature has yet to propose a policy, the MassCPAs Government Affairs team and members continue to engage with legislators and their staff to advocate for estate tax reform and to offer our resources as they flush out various tax policy proposals.
Katie Lannan of the State House News Service has more on President Spilka’s recent comments here.
