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

  • Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Standing
    www.lawyerwellbeingma.org 01 MASSACHUSETTS SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT STANDING COMMITTEE ON LAWYER WELL-BEING Update on the First Year January 2020 - December 2020 Submitted to the Justices of the January 7, 2021 Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court www.lawyerwellbeingma.org 02 INTRODUCTION Established in January of 2020, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Standing Committee on Lawyer Well-Being is charged with planning and overseeing efforts to enhance the well-being of lawyers, judges, and law students in the Commonwealth. As the Committee began its work, its goal was to implement the recommendations set out in the final Report of the original SJC Steering Committee on Lawyer Well-Being ("Report"), which was submitted to the SJC in July 2019. Soon after the first Committee meeting, the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in Massachusetts, bringing with it so many new challenges for everyone, including the legal community. The need to respond to the pandemic propelled and focused the Committee's work in a swift and crucial manner. The renewed cry for racial justice and real change addressing systemic racism and oppression of underrepresented and historically excluded communities drove the Committee to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion ("DEI") efforts, and to ensure that all the work is viewed through a DEI lens. As highlighted in the Report, bias, prejudice, exclusion and oppression have a negative effect on the well-being of lawyers and law students from underrepresented and historically excluded populations, often causing them to leave Massachusetts or cease practicing law altogether. As the Committee has tried to respond to these challenges in this first year, it has also moved forward to implement a series of the Report’s recommendations.
