Kudos to Senator Edward J. Markey for kicking off the campaign for a Fair Share Amendment in Somerville over the weekend! Now YOU can make a difference by raising your voice for a more effective & fair tax system in #MA. It’s time for the 1% to pay their fair share and help fund stronger schools and better transportation. Sign up at @fairsharema. #fairshareamendment #ballotquestion #fairshare
