BOSTON (AP) — A plan for taxing the wealthiest Massachusetts residents could get its first nudge forward in the coming week when the Legislature, meeting in a joint constitutional convention, is expected to take up what has become known as the "millionaire tax."
The proposed constitutional amendment needs the backing of only 50 of the combined 200 lawmakers in the House and Senate to advance Wednesday. Senate President Stan Rosenberg, who supports the tax, told reporters this past week he expects to "comfortably" exceed that threshold.
