This piece, by a Watertown City Councilor who pulled his original endorsement of the opponent to endorse @daniel-lander.bsky.social, is a great read for people trying to understand why this race matters, and why we need change on Beacon Hill.

If you want change in Massachusetts statehouse, eg more transparency, register, check, or update it. Then, vote for challengers. I’ll be voting for @daniel-lander.bsky.social. He’s smart, hard-working, and will represent us, not lobbyists or leadership.

Many thx to @daniel-lander.bsky.social for stepping up to the plate to challenge a 20-year Beacon Hill incumbent. Dan will bring fresh ideas & actual transparency to the MA Senate. And he'll represent residents' quality of life, not PACs, not corporations, not cronies.

Wu/Warren may drive headlines, but the fact that Lander crushed Brownsberger in a recent debate should raise eyebrows about what Lander could bring to Boston. At one point, Brownsberger pretended not to know Lander's name. He definitely acts as if he's already won. WATCH: youtu.be/PnHZbQ8oizA?...

Tell your state senator to support Amendment #6 to S.2899. The Senate's bills all mean cuts to city services in practices, and Amendment #6 would allow for residential property tax relief without harmful service cuts. #bospoli

The City of Boston proposed a temporary change to state tax law to address this dynamic
and provide greater stability for all taxpayers. The proposal temporarily increases the
maximum amount of Boston’s tax levy that can be borne by commercial taxpayers, shifting a
greater share of the tax burden on to commercial properties and away from residential
properties. The proposal does not generate any additional tax revenue for the City or cost
any money to implement, and sunsets after three years.

THE CITY OF BOSTON’S PROPOSAL (CONTINUED)
Timeline of Events
April 2024 - The home rule petition is filed with the Boston City Council.
April & May 2024 - The first City Council hearings are held.
June 2024 - The City Council passes the proposal.
July 2024 - The Legislature’s Joint Committee on Revenue holds a hearing.
July 30, 2024 - The House passes the proposal.
October 2024 - Mayor Wu hosts three town halls on the proposal.
October 23, 2024 - After negotiating with Senate leadership and leaders from the
business community, a deal on compromise legislation is struck.
October 2024 - Mayor Wu files a second home rule petition reflecting this compromise
and the City Council passes the proposal.
November 2024 - The Legislature holds a hearing on this proposal and it passes in the
House.
December 2024 - The proposal fails to pass in the Senate after being blocked by a single
senator.
January 2025 - Mayor Wu refiles the home rule petition.
February 2025 - The City Council passes the proposal for a third time.
March 2025 - The House refers the proposal to the Joint Committee on Revenue. Now,
nearly a year later, the Senate has not concurred with that referral and it remains in the
Senate Clerk’s office.
All together, the City Council discussed the proposal eight times including in meetings and
hearings, Mayor Wu hosted three town halls (one virtual, one in Charlestown, and one in
West Roxbury), and two legislative hearings were held at the State House on this proposal.

PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES COST CITY FUNDING FOR SERVICES
Two proposals have been offered by the State Senate as alternatives to the City’s tax shift
proposal.
Unlike the City’s proposal which addresses the structural challenges in state tax law and
provides stability for all taxpayers over a short period of time, both Senate bills would
create significant year-to-year volatility for eligible taxpayers. Also, unlike the City’s
proposal which is revenue- and cost-neutral to the City, both Senate bills would re…

Boston has a long history of strong and disciplined fiscal management. The City regularly
manages its budgets and lives within its means, consistently maximizing the tax levy each
year in order to maintain critical city services, but never seeking a voter-approved
property tax override, unlike many other communities in Massachusetts.
As a result of this strong fiscal management and stable revenue sources, the City has
received a AAA/Aaa from both Moody’s and S&P for the last twelve years.

Daniel Lander @daniel-lander.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

As I said yesterday, I’ve been hearing directly from many residents worried about increases in their tax bill. I hope the Senate votes for the Rush amendment today, it's the only bill that will deliver relief for residents while saving essential city services.
