State Ballot Question 1 in MA on Nov. 4th, 2008 would eliminate state personal income tax if passed. This is what it would mean for libraries.

  • I've read a lot of honest concerns from opponents of Question 1 about how drastic a measure it is. Will the libraries close? Will firefighters show up when my house is burning down?

    I've also read that if Question 1 passes, the tax revenue the state collects would be cut all the way back to the levels of ...(drum roll)... 1995.

    I wonder if libraries and emergency services existed back in these ancient times.

  • Someone needs to tell her that property taxes pay for schools, fire and police and that gasoline and diesel taxes as well as auto excise taxes pay for roads and bridges. What a shill!

  • Wow, annhorwitz's comment looks pretty staged and another attempt to blind the public with lies and propaganda. When question 1 passes, the state will still receive 30 billion a year in tax revenue's, that the state tells us about. You're a retard if you believe that 30 billion isn't enough to fund the police, fire, roads and bridges for a year! If they can't, that says something about how they spend your money, doesn't it...

  • If Question 1 passes it will be the best thing that ever happens to the state. It will cut waste from state government and return money to the taxpayers. It will break the stranglehold that unions have on our government, too.

  • I am so worried about losing library services, especially in tough times when so many people will be depending on libraries for reading material, videos, computer support, job-hunting materials, etc. YES means our library hours and services will be cut to the point where it will be diffcult to restore them even when/if funding is restored. I AM VOTING NO!
