Following these testimonials\, speakers will pose questions to attending legislators\, with time reserved for audience questions. \n\n\n\nKey Revenue Initiatives Under Discussion \n\n\n\nClarifying the Massachusetts High Technology Council’s push for 2026 tax cut ballot measures \n\n\n\nDecoupling the most costly federal corporate tax provisions from automatic state adoption \n\n\n\nAdvancing the Corporate Fair Share bill (H.3110/S.2033)\, projected to raise up to $400 million annually \n\n\n\nResponsibly utilizing 15% of the $8.6 billion Rainy Day Fund \n\n\n\nCheck-In: 4:15–5:00pmThe program will begin promptly at 5:00pm.
