Massachusetts Automatic Gas Tax Increase Repeal Initiative
The Massachusetts Automatic Gas Tax Increase Repeal Initiative, Question 1 was on the November 4, 2014 statewide ballot. Approved by voters, the measure repeals a 2013 law that would automatically adjust gas taxes according to inflation, allowing for automatic annual increases in the state's gas tax.〔(''News Telegram'', "Referendums could deep-six casinos, gas tax," November 29, 2013 )〕
The law that this initiative repeals would also have put a minimum cap on gas taxes to prevent gas tax decreases in the case of deflation. The tax increase was part of a transportation funding package that was vetoed by Governor Deval Patrick (D) because he wanted an even greater tax increase. Patrick's veto was overruled by a House vote of 123 to 33 and a Senate vote of 35 to 5.〔(''Masslive.com'', "Massachusetts lawmakers override Gov. Deval Patrick's veto of bill to raise taxes by $500 million," July 24, 2013 )〕
''Tank the Gas Tax'', an organization supporting the initiative, stated that they collected at least 18,500 signatures by June 9, 2014. They turned in the signatures on June 18, 2014 in an attempt to qualify the initiative for the ballot.〔(''Tank the Gas Tax'', "Signature Collection," June 9, 2014 )〕 The measure was certified for the 2014 ballot on July 2, 2014.〔(''New England Public Radio'', "4 Ballot Questions Before Mass. Voters," July 3, 2014 )〕
The question passed with 53% of voters in favor.〔("Election Results – Nov. 4, 2014" ) WBZ. November 6, 2014〕
