|
Vote selection and interpretation by representatives of Mass Scorecard without approval or participation from the Massachusetts Democratic Party.
Voted NO on $2.5M more for collective bargaining at UMass.
Platform indicates voting YES in Part IV: ECONOMIC GROWTH:Clause 3, corporate tax havens.
This vote was on an amendment to an omnibus tax reform bill. The amendment would close $85 million in corporate tax loopholes, including one loophole that allows companies to shift profits out of state in order to avoid taxation. A vote of YES indicates support of closing the corporate tax loopholes. The relevant part of the MassDems Platform is Part iv, ECONOMIC GROWTH, Clause 3: We support sanctions to prohibit companies that utilize offshore tax havens, thereby avoiding payment of state and federal taxes, from gaining lucrative contracts for business with the state and federal government.
