Cut the Property Tax (already broken)

Restore local aid to pre-2000 levels

Give excise and sales tax credits for consumer purchases of energy efficient cars and appliances

Repair sewers and storm drains, and modernize our water infrastructure

Increase resources to run the state's clean-up program for toxic substances

Invest in high quality, public transportation

Increase funding to protect and manage natural areas and open space

Replace our state auto fleet with hybrids or other fuel-efficient vehicles

Invest in workforce development and training, brownfields redevelopment, and cultural facilities
Provide wireless Internet access from anywhere in the State

Provide free, full-day Kindergarten programs for all 5-year-olds in Massachusetts

Fund extended school day initiatives, including additional compensation to teachers and other professionals,

Reduce class sizes

Expand professional development programs for teachers
