Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Calls for Legislative Action on Property Taxes

Urgent Call for Legislative Action on Property Taxes

Mayor Michelle Wu emphasized the growing urgency for the Massachusetts Senate to move on a bill that would enable Boston to adjust commercial tax rates. As the city budget expands, the need to help homeowners avoid steep property taxes has become increasingly critical.

The Role of Boston City Council

• Ed Flynn, a prominent figure in the Boston City Council, supports the Mayor's initiative.
• The collective goal is to create a fair taxation framework that supports Boston's residents.
• Timely legislative action is essential to implement these changes effectively.

Potential Impact on Homeowners

Without intervention, homeowners could face significant property tax hikes. This legislation offers a path to control these rising costs while promoting economic fairness in Boston.
