On November 4th, 2008 the election took place. In Massachusetts there were several ballot questions. People showed up at the polls in record numbers to cast their votes. The three questions were.

  1. reduce the state personal income tax rate to 2.65% for the tax year
  2. decriminlize marijuana
  3. prohibit dog races on which betting or wagering occurs

Question 1.
This question is not related to healthcare because healthcare companies get their fundings from goverment taxes.

Greetings,

My name is Barbara O’ Brien and my blogging at The Mahablog, Crooks and Liars, AlterNet, and elsewhere on the progressive political and health blogophere has earned me the notoriety of being a panelist at the Yearly Kos Convention and a featured guest blogger at the Take Back America Conference in Washington, DC.

I’m contacting you because I found your site in a health reform blog search and want to tell you about my newest blogging platform —the public concern of health care and its reform. Our shared concerns include health reform, tort reform, public health, safe workplaces, and asbestos contamination.
If you’re confused by the nation’s debate over health care reform, you are not alone. While nearly everyone agrees our health care system is in trouble, the nation is nearly at war with itself over what to do about it. Some say the entire system needs to be overhauled. Others urge caution, pointing to the costs of reform and warning of high taxes and “big government.”

To increase awareness on these important issues, my goal is to get a resource link on your site or even allow me to provide a guest posting. Please contact me back, I hope to hear from you soon. Drop by our site www.maacenter.org in the meantime.
Thanks,

Barbara O’ Brien
