enot06Voters approved of Question 1, which asked whether to repeal a 2013 law automatically adjusting the state’s gas tax based on the rate of inflation. With the vote, the Massachusetts gas tax will stick at its current rate of 24 cents per gallon (26.5 cents if you include a 2.5 cent tax paid by gas stations) until and unless legislators vote to change it.
Question 2, an initiative to require deposits on all forms of bottled drinks, was resoundingly rejected by a margin of greater than 40 percent.
Voters also rejected Question 3, which would have repealed the state’s 2011 expanded gambling law. With the ‘no’ vote on Question 3, the state will continue forward with plans to open three casinos and a slots parlor.
Massachusetts voters have approved of Question 4, a measure allowing workers at companies with at least 11 employees to earn paid sick time.
