Taxachusetts, that’s what I’d call it! LOL! ROTFL!
Sorry, just testing out some IM coding I’ve just learned. (…!)
Turns out, Massachusetts counties don’t have the worst property tax burden, in the country.
Some of the reason we look better than we should is because the median personal income in Massachusetts is so high (5th highest in the nation, I believe). But, even in flat dollar amounts, we still do a lot better than many of the people who live in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
