Mass. High Tech Council is losing higher-ed members amid its income tax rollback push. Why? - The Boston Globe Several have left or not renewed memberships to the influential business group, including UMass Lowell, Bridgewater State, and Bunker Hill Community College.

UMass Lowell Chancellor Julie Chen said it best: "when it seems like a group’s primary focus could harm the organization you represent, it’s hard to justify sticking around." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/06/b... #mapoli

Two-and-a-half years in, the Fair Share Amendment is an unqualified success that’s serving as a model for other states that want to invest in quality public services with a fairer tax system.

With this Fair Share surplus bill, Massachusetts is continuing to make transformative investments in our public schools, colleges, roads, bridges, and transit — all paid for by the state’s richest 1%.

Great news! A new spending bill signed into law today allocates $1.3 billion in surplus Fair Share funds to new investments in transportation and public education!

The surplus is possible thanks to Fair Share's strong performance, which generated $2.46 billion in its first year.
