Inc. | 111 West 19th Street, 5th Floor | New York, NY 10011 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] The Rise And Fall Of The Millionaire Tax In Massachusetts By David Nagle and Joseph Donovan (July 11, 2018, 2:00 PM EDT) In a decision released June 20, 2018, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ended a three-year effort to amend the Massachusetts Constitution and impose an additional tax on individuals with income exceeding $1 million.[1] The court’s opinion addresses the procedure for amending the constitution via initiative petition, as opposed to the merits of a graduated income tax.[2] In analyzing the “related subjects” requirement for such initiatives, and concluding that this initiative failed to contain subjects “which are related or which are mutually dependent,”[3] the court’s opinion strikes a balance between direct and representative democracy, while providing a roadmap for future initiatives and highlighting their importance in lawmaking. David Nagle Background The Massachusetts Constitution has authorized the legislature to levy a personal income tax since 1915 but requires that rates be uniform “upon incomes derived from the same class of property.”[4] “Whatever may be the merits of the system commonly described as the graduated income tax, it is prohibited by article 44” of the amendments to the Massachusetts Constitution.[5] Massachusetts currently taxes ordinary income and long-term capital gains at 5.1 percent, and short-term gains and gains from

    04.04.11 Nomination to Supreme Judicial Court Governor Deval L. Patrick Announcement of the Nomination of Barbara A. Lenk As Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court State House, Boston Monday, April 4, 2011 Today, it is my distinct honor and pleasure to nominate Barbara A. Lenk to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court. Judge Lenk brings over 17 years of judicial experience and professional excellence with her to the SJC. She has served on the Appeals Court since 1995, where she is highly respected by her peers and by litigants alike for her insightful and prodigious writing and thoughtful demeanor.

Before her career on the bench, Judge Lenk was in private practice as a civil litigator in Boston. She has been a leader in a wide variety of professional and civic organizations, including on the Board of Trustees of Western New England College, and frequently serves as a lecturer and panelist on various legal subjects. Judge Lenk received her undergraduate degree from Fordham University and her law degree from Harvard Law School. She also holds a doctorate in philosophy from Yale University. She is married and is the mother of two teenage daughters. Judge Lenk brings a wealth of appellate and trial court experience to the SJC, as well as a thoughtfulness and care that reflect a profound sense of justice.
