The Massachusetts Teachers Association has contributed more than $10 million in cash to Fair Share Massachusetts, the referendum committee stumping for a ballot question that would increase income taxes on people who earn more than $1 million a year.
The teachers union has also given more than $325,000 to the referendum committee in so-called in-kind contributions, meaning goods and services as opposed to cash.
The Spanish-speaking population has grown to the point where the city of Salem is using bilingual ballots for the first time this general election.
The city clerk told The Salem News that the city's Latino Leadership Coalition helped drive response among Spanish speakers in Salem to the U.S. Census in 2020, which led to the Census's finding of a large minority of Latinos.
