the latest thing they want to tax are uber and lyft rides. they want 5.75% for their end. they also recently stuck a tax on short term rentals throughout the state. they have increased plenty of fees as well.

Mass has consistently run deficits but finally had a surplus in 2018 due to a booming economy.

Many people have left Mass to avoid the tax burden. Their exodus is not nearly as much as the higher taxed states such as NY, CT and NJ.
