Hi Massachusetts Voters,
As I have said in a comment, I will be voting yes on all the ballot questions. (Watertown specimen ballots for the general election on Tuesday, November 3rd, can be found here at https://www.watertown-ma.gov/295/Specimen-Ballots). At the root of many of the ballot questions is economic fairness. However, I feel most completed to write about Question 4.
