Well that sucks. Everything is soooo expensive. Cost of living is so unmanageable rn- food, gas and the electric is severely increasing. I was not in favor of any tax increase at this time for ANYTHING.

All the people celebrating will someday realize it’s more government overreach and they will never see any value from their “$40”. Such a gen Z thing to not worry about money but complain about debt. People are begging for more taxes. Tax me more please! Fools.

Gen Z isn’t complaining about their mortgage debt, they are having trouble even buying a house because they can’t climb out of student loan debt. I think that’s a different point though.

It’s possible the benefit from the $40 a year doesn’t materialize in any significant way but personally I think it’s a small fee to pay to see if we can improve the city. Aside from buying trash bags and cleaning trash off the street, how do you think you could better contribute $40 to improve Worcester?

How can it be government overreach if the tax was specifically voted on and approved by a direct democratic vote by the citizens of Worcester?

I'm rapidly closing on forty, so hardly a zoomer, and I agree with this measure. I think you're just an absolutely useless numpty.

Why don't you just move to Alabama and live in a trailer? How is this more of an overreach than paying taxes to have roads or programs for kids so they don't shoot up the block after school?
