Opponents of a Massachusetts plan to impose a tax on millionaires filed a lawsuit claiming a state summary of a November ballot question misleads voters about how money would be spent if the measure is enacted.
The plan’s foes claim that a ballot summary of the proposed constitutional amendment says money raised by the 4% tax on income over $1 million would fund spending on public education and transportation. In the suit, filed Thursday, they say they want the state’s highest court to order that the summary say the money can be spent for other purposes or to strike down the measure altogether.
