Massachusetts gives tens of millions in subsidies to corporations every year.\u00a0 We will give over $250 million to General Electric for moving its headquarters here. Who knows how much Massachusetts politicians are willing to give to Amazon to move its headquarters here, but it will cost us millions more.<\/p>\n
With 60% of our legislators without an opponent in the general election, Massachusetts needs you to run.<\/p>\n
We will hold a campaign workshop this Saturday, December 9th<\/a>. It will be in the Conference Board Room at the Holyoke Public Library,\u00a0250 Chestnut St. We will be there from noon to 3pm.
