Lexington, MA – This past week, the Healey administration imposed a new 6.25% tax on cable boxes. This is a tax directed squarely at the middle and working class and is unacceptable. Gubernatorial candidate Mike Kennealy, has pledged that he will cut taxes when he’s Governor.

“Maura Healey loves to say she’s fighting for the middle class—so why is every new tax she proposes aimed squarely at them? And where are the policies that actually help working families? It’s not adding up. Proposing taxes targeting the middle class is a failure of leadership and an outright betrayal.”

“When I’m Governor, I’ll be a relentless advocate for the middle and working class—not just in words, but in action. We’re going to cut taxes, including the cable box tax, and spend less.”
