Each year, we are impressed and inspired by our members who step up to serve, engaging in a range of projects that improve people’s lives, and strengthen our neighborhoods. Some spend a day at Housing Court, on hand to ensure that pro se litigants have fair and equitable access to justice. Others donate time and resources to assist current and former members of the U.S. Military. And still more volunteer to teach future generations what it means to be a lawyer. In the pages ahead, you’ll read about the work of these volunteer lawyers, as told by the people who have seen the impact of their service first-hand. We hope these stories inspire you as they have us, and that you join us next year as we work to improve our community, help our fellow citizens and create a brighter future for Boston. If you would like to get involved in any of these programs, please contact Katie D’Angelo, Public Service Programs Coordinator, at [email protected].

    September 2019 353 Southern Artery Quincy, MA 02169 A PUBLICATION OF THE MASSACHUSETTS CHARITABLE MECHANIC ASSOCIATION President’s Message I hope your summer was a good one. For those of us who attended the summer Quarterly Luncheon at Paul and Jessica Lohnes’ home in Gloucester, I am sure you would agree that day was one of the highlights of the summer. It was a beautiful day to enjoy one another’s company, spend some time at a beautiful home overlooking the ocean, and enjoy a lunch of steak and lobster. Thank you, Paul and Jessica, for welcoming us to your home. During a brief business meeting at the Quarterly, our membership voted to approve some changes to our bylaws. These changes were approved as recommended by a Bylaws Committee and by the Board of Government. The affirmative vote of the membership made them official. The changes bring our bylaws more in line with how we have actually been operating the past couple of decades. Thank you to Joe Valante and Marty Joyce, who chaired the special Bylaws Committee. With the bylaw changes, you can look for an updated “Bylaws and List of Members” book. We hope to have this available by the January meeting. Our current Bylaws and Membership book was last printed in 1998, so we have lots of new members to list as well as the revised bylaws. In June, our Planning Committee completed some of the most important work MCMA does today; selecting organizations who will receive our grants. The Committee approved about $260,000 in grants! As you know, Planning Committee members visit all grant applicants and then meet as a group to decide who will received grants.

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
