#mabiz #mapoli #Mainstreets #smallbiz This proposal would give Salem MA the highest sales tax in the entire USA; and the jurisdictions higher than MA right now have no NH to contend with, drawing 10's of billions of discretionary consumer $'s out of the local economy.

This isn’t just policy—it quietly erases immigrant entrepreneurs who are vital to our #MainStreets. From diners to dry cleaners, they hire locally and reinvest in their neighborhoods. Excluding them won’t protect the economy; it will hollow… cvsoci.al/hb8v0UVF?cv=17…

A major challenge in city building is transforming our older #mainstreets and arterials. Do we revive these 1–2 story buildings or rebuild with new forms that redefine the corridor? Cities across the country, especially the traditional Midwest ones, face this difficult challenge.

Raising property taxes on #smallbiz & taking away convenient parking is NOT how you support your #MainStreets. How about controlling your spending? It would be interesting to see how much Cambridge is spending today vs pre-COVID & compare that to actual growth in taxpayer & consumer incomes. #mabiz #mapoli Tax hike a tough sell for Cambridge businesses bostonglobe.com/2025/10/21/met… via @BostonGlobe
