Massachusetts takes aim at California style tax revolt
Wellesley mass voters face a California like tax revolt as State Rep Switzler moves to circulate a petition for Proposition 2.5 a 2.5 percent cap on property tax based on current market value to curb rising taxes while preserving local control if funded and implemented gradually across three years.
