Oppose the Repeal of the Gas Tax Index — Vote No On Question 1

Boston Society of Civil Engineers Newsletter

September 24, 2014

A ballot initiative with far reaching implications for our economy will be decided this fall. If you are following the local news, you might think I am talking about the repeal of casino gambling. However, there is one ballot initiative that is far more important to the Massachusetts economy, but far less fashionable to talk about. In fact, for many taxpayers, it is such an abstract issue that they simply shrug when asked what the consequences of a “yes” vote might be. The ballot question that is so important to our economy is the proposed repeal of the indexed gas tax.
