Email from Massachusetts Republican Party Who ordered fiscal instability & higher taxes? Hey there, Governor Maura Healey’s annual budget proposal is out - and it’s the perfect recipe for fiscal instability and higher taxes. $62,000,000,000 Gov. Healey’s proposed FY2026 budget, representing a 7.4% increase from the 2025 budget. Harmful tax proposals The new tax on candy & capping charitable donation deductions punishes Massachusetts residents while enabling unchecked spending on Beacon Hill. Back-door tax increases Allowing local governments to raise taxes is a political maneuver that avoids accountability while forcing families to be on the hook. Fiscal recklessness & missed opportunities Governor Healey’s proposals are disconnected from the realities faced by Massachusetts families and businesses. The MassGOP is calling on the Healey-Driscoll Administration to prioritize sustainable, transparent, and responsible budgeting that respects taxpayers and supports long-term stability. Our State Leaders should be focused on reform, efficiency, and fiscal discipline — not one-time fixes and political posturing. AGREE?
