Regional Roundup
 
 
Question of the Week
 
Tuesday we asked: The Worcester Regional Research Bureau in May outlined a formula it said could move Worcester towards a more equitable business tax rate, rather than a lower rate for residential property and a higher rate for businesses. WRRB recommended either a unilateral transition, which would freeze the business tax levy, resulting in a gradual shift back to a single rate as the residential tax increases, or a bilateral transition, which would establish a timeline for a single rate.
How has Worcester's dual-tax rate affected your business?
  • Pass the increase onto customers... no impact on business or profits.
  • perhaps that WRRB formula should be published……. Dan V
  • sucks
