Beacon Hill over property taxes in Boston. Mayor and a
(03:17):
state senator from South Boston at odds over how the
city's tax burden should be shared by residents and businesses.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
In a sharply worded statement, Senator At Collins accused Mayor
Michelle Wu of trying to raise property taxes at a
time of financial strain in the city. Collins calling Wo's
proposal to hike residential taxes by thirteen percent an attempt
to circumvent Proposition two and a half, the law approved
by voters to limit property tax increases. Wu quick to
(03:46):
fire back at Collins.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Senator Collins and his colleagues know how to do this,
and they know why it's important and how it works.
We're looking to stop a residential property tax bike by
slightly decreasing the decrease that businesses would still get.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Commercial property owners are likely to see a tax decrease
of about four and a half percent. The political challenge
striking the right balance between homeowners and the business community.
