No-License Tax Debate Boosts Brockton Voters Stand
The Civic League rebutts eastern no-license tax claims by Brockton MA. Alden’s figures show 33 Massachusetts towns with license cities paying an average of $17.00 per $1,000 versus $15.82 for no-license towns, a $1.18 advantage for the dry cities. Alden argues taxes alone cannot compare eastern and western conditions.
