It looks like MA voters will vote down a measure to repeal the state's income tax, which is currently 5.3%. About 99% of districts have reported, and the NOs are ahead 70%-30%. Who says the public doesn't have common sense?

Also, the measure to decriminalize possession of less than one ounce of marijuana will likely pass. 65% of voters feel that having some weed should be a civil offense rather than a criminal one.

As far as greyhound racing, 56% of voters want to outlaw this activity.

 

Holy liberal, Batman.

Why would people vote against eliminating taxes?

People voted to not eliminate taxes because our state income tax is a huge percent of the state's budget. If that money disappeared, funding for many programs (education, emergency response, road repair, etc.) would dwindle and residents of MA would suffer.
