Gregoire opposes Question 1

By Jeremy P. Jacobs, PolitickerMA.com Reporter

Democratic state House candidate Danielle Gregoire is opposed to Question 1, the ballot measure that would abolish the state income tax.

[img_assist|nid=1084|title=Danielle Gregoire (D-Marlborough)|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=149|height=180]"I'm absolutely against Question 1," Gregoire, of Marlborough, told PolitickerMA.com. "It represents 60 percent of the tax revenue that goes into our state treasury. The overall budget is $30 billion and when you take $12.7 billion from it, it obviously hampers that budget."
