The nonpartisan Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation said Healey’s plan noticeably fell short of the foundation’s own $1.3 billion tax relief vision.
But the foundation remarked Healey’s proposal is significant and described the package as “a strong start to tax relief discussions this year.”
“At the same time, it is important to acknowledge that these proposals are not a silver bullet for making Massachusetts a place that attracts and retains people and investment,” the foundation wrote in a report. “Proposals to reduce costs on employers and investments must also be part of our coordinated efforts to spur equitable economic growth in the Commonwealth.”
