No on Question 1

Please consider voting NO on Question #1 on the November 4th Ballot. Eliminating the income tax would eliminate about 40% of the Commonwealth's revenue. Taking regional schools into consideration, Amesbury would lose about $15,500,000 in annual aid from the state. The effects on public education, public safety and infrastructure in Amesbury would be extraordinary, not to mention state-wide cuts to the wide variety of public services provided (mental health, public health, children services, elder services, veterans' services).
