Cost of living & jobs

No public position found

Massachusetts residents are told the economy is thriving.Massachusetts is one of the wealthiest states in the country, but for working people and families, it has never been harder to afford the basics. Rent keeps going up. Childcare costs more than many mortgages. Healthcare bills push families deeper into debt. source

AffordabilityMassachusetts, with eight taxes, takes more of its citizens’ money than 90% of America. Maura Healey is overspending, overtaxing, and overregulating. Young people cannot afford to start their lives here, and seniors cannot afford to stay. source
