AI Summary
This bill would require the State Treasurer, in coordination with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, to annually mail Massachusetts resident taxpayers a summary report on the federal and state budgets. The federal budget summary would include the total amount of income tax paid by Massachusetts residents, as well as the percentage of those funds allocated to various spending categories like housing, education, healthcare, and defense. The state budget summary would provide similar information on the allocation of funds in Massachusetts. The reports would be presented in the form of pie charts or bar graphs, and the information could be obtained from a nonpartisan, third-party organization.
