We stand at a critical juncture. The escalating cost of living is challenging our ability to maintain the standard of living we once enjoyed. Families are struggling, seniors worry about their quality of life, and young adults find it harder than ever to pursue the American dream.
Business owners face skyrocketing costs. Inflation affects everything from fuel to electricity, leaving businesses unable to offer the discounts and deals they once did. Families are forced to cut corners, buying only essentials.
The root of these challenges lies in poor economic decisions. While other states have moved toward tax relief, our leaders have chosen to impose heavier tax burdens, eliminating our competitive edge. These choices have led to our state’s inflation rates outpacing the national average in key areas like gas and electricity.
If we do not act, the fiscal and economic stability of our personal lives is at risk. It is time for bold leadership and decisive action. We must advocate for broad-based tax relief to retain our residents and businesses and restore Massachusetts’ economic vitality.
As your representative, I will champion policies that address these pressing issues. Let's work together to ensure a prosperous future for all. Stand with me, Joe Pires, and let’s secure a better tomorrow for Massachusetts.
