Bill Summary
By Mr. Lewis of Framingham, a petition of Jack Patrick Lewis and others that the State Treasurer annually mail to resident taxpayers of the Commonwealth information on the federal and state budgets. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Massachusetts State Treasurer, in coordination with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, to annually mail Massachusetts resident taxpayers a summary of key information about federal and state budgets. The federal summary would report the total amount of income tax paid by Massachusetts residents, the percentage of those funds allocated to various discretionary spending categories like housing, education, and defense. The state summary would report the percentage of the state budget allocated to similar categories and the contribution of federal funds in those areas. The information may be acquired from a nonpartisan third-party organization that compiles such data, and the report would be presented in the form of pie charts or bar graphs.
