On August 2^nd, the Fiscal Alliance Foundation submitted written comments to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) casting doubt on the constitutionality of several potential ballot questions, including attempts at imposing ranked choice voting (04, 07, and 08).

BOSTON – On August 2, state Representative Mike Connolly, a socialist from Cambridge, filed paperwork with the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) for a ballot question that would, among other things, enact government-imposed rent control. Rep. Connolly’s ballot question also included other policies, such as allowing cities and towns to pass new rules regulating evictions. The ballot question seeks to overturn the will of the voters, who in 1994 voted to outlaw government-imposed rent control. Rep. Connolly was one of 15 individuals who signed the rent control ballot question proposal, which may be found by clicking here.
