Martha Walz on LABOR


Vote selection and interpretation by representatives of Mass Scorecard without approval or participation from the Massachusetts Democratic Party.

Voted NO on $2.5M more for collective bargaining at UMass.
Platform indicates voting NO in Part IV: ECONOMIC GROWTH:Clause 14, tax breaks to wealthy.

This vote was on an amendment to an omnibus tax reform bill. The amendment would reduce revenue available for state programs by $250 million through tax rebates to people affected by the repeal of the capital gains tax break in 2002, a rebate primarily benefiting the wealthiest 1% of people in the state. Voting NO would reject the capital gains tax rebates.

The relevant part of the MassDems Platform is Part iv. ECONOMIC GROWTH, Clause 14: We oppose the Republican administration policy of giving tax breaks to the wealthiest individuals…. These policies unfairly increase the tax burden at the state and local level.

Bill H. 2606, sec. 56-57 ; vote number MAX05-H005 on Jun 15, 2005
