BOSTON — Days after Connecticut woke up to news that corporate behemoth General Electric is moving to Massachusetts to escape an inhospitable tax climate, the Massachusetts legislature held hearings on whether to impose a "millionaire's tax," an additional tax to income earned in excess of $1 million.
The hearing before the Joint Committee on Revenue, which attracted scores of citizen spectators on Tuesday, is the next step in a years-long process to get the proposed constitutional amendment before voters on the 2018 ballot.
DEERFIELD, Mass. – A group of environmental activists spent the Martin Luther King holiday protesting plans for a $5 billion New England pipeline that would help reduce energy costs throughout the region.
Over the weekend, nearly 80 Bay State residents marched from Northfield to Plainfield along the approximate 34-mile stretch of the proposed Northeast Energy Direct Project (NED) Pipeline, which would run through parts of western and southern Massachusetts, as well as parts of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.
