The City of Boston needs to change the way it assesses property. We need to create a FAIR SHARE TAX PLAN

• Fix Loop holes that large corporations are taking advantage of, which in turn will place less burden on residences and small businesses.

• Roughly half the taxable property in Boston is taken up by non-profit organizations.  The city needs to tax non-profit property that is used for residence (example: College Dormitories).  These residences and students consume a large amount of city services paid for by the tax payers in Boston.
• The city needs to re-examine BRA (Boston Re-Development Authority) property and determine whether some of those holdings should be taxed. 
• The increased revenue should be used to lower the taxes on residences and small businesses.
