BOSTON — A right-leaning fiscal watchdog that has spent the last several years trying to overturn Massachusetts' ban on campaign donations from business owners announced Thursday that its case will be decided by the state's top court.
The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, a nonprofit outfit that has made waves on Beacon Hill since its founding in 2009 with its legislative scorecards — direct mailers sent to constituents living in specific districts that track lawmakers' spending votes — began challenging the state's union donation loophole in court in 2015.
The most illuminating recent article about the tax reform debate didn't appear on the front page of any newspaper. It wasn't in the business section, or on the editorial page.
It was an interview that appeared on an inside page of the New York Times arts section with Ellen Stern.
