Bob Massie on Tax Reform | |
Gonzalez said only 19,000 families would be affected by the millionaire's tax, and he argues they would pay a little bit more so the state as a whole would have enough revenue to make badly needed investments in its future.
Massie calls the millionaire's tax a "logical, reasonable first step" to deal with the state's revenue crunch, suggesting more tax increases may be needed later on, particularly if Trump scales back federal support for states.
Massie said Baker's popularity stems in part from his constant hedging. "It's really easy to be popular when you don't do anything, when you don't take a stand," he said. "He has this high approval rating. Why isn't he using it as governor?"
