Raise Up Massachusetts Amendment

September 12, 2015

Raise up massachusetts

MTA members have their best opportunity in more than two decades to raise significant revenues for public schools and public higher education  — taking a major step to advance the interests of our students, our schools, our colleges and universities, and our communities.

Raise Up Massachusetts is a coalition of labor, faith and community organizations that led the successful 2014 Earned Sick Time ballot campaign.

The MTA has joined an effort by the Raise Up Massachusetts coalition to raise revenues for education and transportation through an amendment to the state Constitution.

The Raise Up Massachusetts Amendment filed on Aug. 4, 2015, would:

  • Add a 4 percentage point tax on the portion of a filer’s income in excess of $1 million. Income tax rates would remain unchanged for the bottom 99 percent of the population.
  • Index the $1 million threshold to inflation so that it would never affect anyone but the very wealthiest taxpayers.
  • Dedicate the more than $1 billion raised annually to public education, public higher education and transportation infrastructure.
