The 1950 local tax rate reductions in Massachusetts municipalities are attributed to relentless Republican pressure in the Legislature rather than Gerrior Dever's actions. Senator Ralph Mahar notes the push for larger income and corporate tax distributions to cities and towns, aided by a special study commission. The resulting appropriations, totaling near 83 million, allowed many towns to cut rates by about 3 percent, though the timing and surplus use influenced outcomes.
