Vote YES on 6 to Protect Water & Nature in Massachusetts — Without Raising Taxes
Question 6 dedicates the sales tax we already pay on sporting goods to protect clean drinking water; conserve forests, family farms, and natural wildlife habitat; and create more parks, trails, and greenspaces for all to enjoy.
