The Fair Share Amendment is a proposal to amend the Massachusetts Constitution, creating an additional tax of four percentage points on the portion of a person’s annual income above $1 million. The new revenue, approximately $2 billion a year, would be spent on
- quality public education and affordable public colleges and universities
- the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges as well as the decarbonization of public transportation.
