Mayor Curley Tax Rise Advocated By City Leader
Mayor Curley would see a $1 per thousand increase in Boston tax rate, boosting the current $17.20 per thousand when combined with state and county levies. The move, backed by several mayors, aims to make the system more elastic and includes raising loan interest to 4 1/2 percent. Health licensing would cover meat and egg processing facilities with inspected products bearing a Massachusetts tag.
