A Massachusetts bill has been proposed that would triple the motor vehicle excise tax in MA. This would affect everyone in the state that owns a car. The Municipal Empowerment Act that Governor Healey's Administration supports would give municipalities the ability to raise local revenue through various tax means, which includes an increased automobile excise tax that would triple the current price from 2 1/2% to 7 1/2%. Gubernatorial candidate Brian Shortsleeve is against this measure and if elected claims he would not allow cities and towns the ability to increase the vehicle excise tax. Brian checked in to discuss it with Dan.
