About this episode
Massachusetts voters will face a record-tying nine initiative petitions on the statewide ballot this November. But three questions in particular could have serious implications for cities and towns: Question 4, which would allow same-day voter registration; Question 5, which would change the way the state’s revenue limit is calculated; and Question 7, which would create statewide zoning rules allowing single-family homes on lots as small as 5,000 square feet. John and Adam are joined by MMA Legislative Director Dave Koffman, MMA Legislative and Policy Counsel Ali DiMatteo, and MMA Senior Legislative Analyst Adrienne Núñez to explain the ballot initiatives and their potential consequences.
