What to know about this year’s ballot questions in Massachusetts

Press Room

What to know about this year’s ballot questions in Massachusetts

BOSTON – This fall, Massachusetts voters will face the largest crop of statewide ballot questions in years, many of them involving complex issues.

Evan Horowitz, executive director of the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts University, has done a deep dive into the details of the questions, and he joined Keller @ Large to offer a primer.

Massachusetts Ballot Question 1

On Question 1, expanding the state auditor’s authority to audit the legislature, Horowitz said passage “probably will not empower the auditor to oversee the things people care about in the legislature, their votes, their committee assignments. She’s not going to have that authority. The courts probably won’t give it to her, and the legislature will fight back. So I think a yes vote is not a vote for this power. A yes vote is a vote for gridlock.”

Should MCAS be graduation requirement?

A “yes” vote on Question 2, would wipe out the lone statewide graduation requirement in Massachusetts that students pass the MCAS test by 10th grade. Students would still take the MCAS, but each district would set its own standards for graduation.

“This really is a question for voters about who should have the authority to dictate who can graduate from high school. Should it be districts? Or should the state play a role and say we have to sign off because we have over 300 districts in the state, [and] if they each have their own standards, that’s no standard,” Horowitz said.

“There are good arguments, I think, on both sides. The teachers union, which is backing the question, says this will give more freedom to teachers will be able to tailor their coursework for the students who need it. The business groups who are really on the no side, they’re saying we don’t want to become a state with a fractured education system,” Horowitz added. “We want to set high standards across the state. If you vote yes on this, you’re undermining that effort. Certainly MCAS has been a part of the ed reform that’s been nationally acclaimed and we do have some of the best schools in the country. Lots of people credit MCAS for at least part of that success. It is also true, though that most states have common standards, but usually not a test, usually a set of curricula or a set of coursework that seems have to compete. So we are kind of an outlier and really relying on a test to set the common standard from state.”

Sector-based bargaining

Question 3 would allow something called sector-based bargaining here, in which rideshare drivers using platforms like Lyft and Uber could negotiate together for better pay and benefits that would then apply across the industry.

“Drivers cannot form unions in the traditional way, because they’re not considered employees, they’re considered independent contractors,” Horowitz said.

The ballot question would order the state to “set up a whole set of regulations.”

“Let’s allow the sector based system where we’ll have drivers negotiate with all the companies at once and set rules for the whole industry,” Horowitz said. “The big issue will be business interests won’t like it. If it passes here again, you’re likely to see significant challenges, not just from rideshare companies, but from maybe the Chamber of Commerce, national business interests, because this would be a first in the nation effort to set up a system like this, and it could expand to other states and other industries.”

Will Massachusetts legalize psychedelic drugs?

A yes vote on Question 4 would legalize and regulate the use of some psychedelic drugs for both licensed mental health professionals and private parties who want to grow their own,

Horowitz says that would create “a new class of people, facilitators, to oversee the usage, which will be separate from the medical system. And it has to be separate from the medical system, because these drugs are illegal federally. They will remain illegal federally. So there will be no insurance coverage. There’s always the chance of a federal crackdown. I do want to be clear the drugs we’re talking about…can have very serious cardiac and neurological effects. It’s not a kind of casual set of drugs.”

Minimum wage for tipped workers

And Question 5 would phase out the current minimum wage that tipped workers, like waiters and bartenders, get, and require employers instead to pay those workers the full minimum wage.

“If you’re a tipped worker, you’re working in a restaurant, you are already entitled to the full minimum wage,” Horowitz said. “You are getting $15 an hour, it’s just a question of who pays it. Right now, the employers can pay as little as 675, so long as you make the other $8.25 in tips. So the tips are going toward the minimum wage, and if you don’t get enough in tips, the employer has to cover it. Our research suggests that in other places that have these laws that require employers to cover, tipped workers tend to make a little bit more. But then there are additional stresses on restaurants and other businesses, which they intend to have to address with higher prices and service fees.”

3 inmates charged for brutal Massachusetts prison attack

3 inmates charged for brutal Massachusetts prison attack

Three inmates are now charged for the brutal attack at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center earlier this month that injured five correction officers — with one stabbed 12 times and suffering a punctured lung.

“Attacks against our officers will not be tolerated and the serious charges filed against the three individuals demonstrates that the Massachusetts Department of Correction will take action,” interim DOC Commissioner Shawn Jenkins said in a statement included in the announcement.

Investigators filed criminal complaints against the inmates in Clinton District Court. Jose R. Crespo, 39; Heriberto Rivera-Negron, 36; and Jeffrey Tapia are each charged with mayhem, armed assault to murder and assault to murder. Rivera-Negron is scheduled to be arraigned on Oct. 10, Crespo on Oct. 11, and Tapia on Oct. 15.

The violence went down on Sept. 18. A surveillance video from the attack shows a correction officer walking through a common area with tables and attached chairs when an inmate leaning against a wall lashed out, either with fist or a “shiv,” a makeshift knife.

The officer recovers enough to slam the inmate to the ground but another inmate rushes in and the officer grapples with both until another officer comes to his aid. Then a third officer and a third inmate become involved. Roughly 15 seconds later, several officers join and contain the situation.

The five injured officers were treated at a hospital.

The DOC “increased resources” and added “specialized staff to the facility for the day and evening shifts” as of five days following the event, Jenkins said then.

“This type of violence is unacceptable and now those involved will be held accountable in the court of law. We have and will continue to make the safety and health of our Correctional Officers a priority and appreciate their dedication to the DOC and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,” Commissioner Jenkins wrote in his statement. “Our investigators worked tirelessly since the incident occurred to bring these charges forward.”

Massachusetts State Police recruit who died during training mourned at funeral,

Massachusetts State Police recruit who died during training mourned at funeral,

Funeral held for Massachusetts State Police trooper who died after training exercise

02:18

WORCESTER – The Massachusetts State Police recruit who died after getting injured in a training exercise was laid to rest after his funeral Saturday in Worcester.

Death under investigation

Hundreds came to pay their respects and say goodbye to 25-year-old Trooper Enrique Delgado-Garcia. He died earlier this month after a boxing training exercise. Circumstances surrounding his death remain under investigation.

A State Police flyover, prayers and a presentation of the flag took place Saturday at the Mercandante Funeral Home and Chapel. A wake was held Friday. Among the mourners was Mary Hart, who had known Delgado-Garcia since high school.

“Enrique was a joy and he was the best hugger,” said Hart. “Even the first time I met him, he gave me the biggest hug.”

Dream to be state trooper

Family and friends said Delgado-Garcia’s dream was to become a state trooper and make a difference in the lives of the people in his community. After graduating high school, he obtained his bachelors degree in criminal justice at Westfield State University. He began his career as a victim’s advocate with the Worcester District Attorney’s office before being recruited by the Massachusetts State Police.

“He was here to love and to be loved,” said Hart. “He wanted to protect and serve with love and kindness.”

Dozens of recruits and State Police stood solemnly in formation during the funeral as so many are still trying to understand how his tragic death could’ve been avoided.

“It feels impossible,” said family friend Caroline Root. “It’s an incredible loss for his friends, his family but I think for our entire community.”

The family thanked the community for the outpouring of love and support and the expressions of sympathy they received. Delgado-Garcia was later laid to rest at Notre Dame Cemetery in Worcester.
