    https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/18/metro/income-tax-cut-ballot-question-sjc-decision/ This ballot measure would have been a disaster if passed, but I'm also not entirely comfortable with the idea that the AG summary can't just be amended. If an AG is opposed to a particular measure can they...

    Congestion toll in Boston?

    Yeah this is the where I'm at. We should be at the point where we can at least study and debate specific proposals. At a high level congestion pricing has been shown successful enough in other places but it's an open question how/if it would work here. The discussion would be better informed by...

    It didn't even make it out of committee; Mahoney, Yuan, Riley, Ryan, McKee, and Jacobs all voting against. Imo the right move based on the plan presented.
