A year ago, voters approved the Fair Share Amendment - a new surtax on income over $1 million to support education and transportation. Let's check in on what's happened since then.
- To ensure the money would be invested where voters wanted, lawmakers created dedicated funds and tracking mechanisms to facilitate transparency, stability, and protect the amendment's intent.
- Where's the money going? With so many priorities, difficult decisions had to be made about what could be funded. Still, thanks to Fair Share, the state is investing in community colleges, regional transit, free school meals, and much more.
- This first year of investments made with Fair Share dollars demonstrates how the new surtax mitigates the ongoing harms of structural racism while improving the Commonwealth as a whole.
