Every two years, voters in Massachusetts have the opportunity to vote on ballot questions. These questions are proposed by citizens or the legislature, and they can cover a wide range of topics, from taxes to education to environmental protection.
The 2022 ballot questions are particularly important because they will address several key issues facing the state. One question will ask voters to approve a new law that would create a paid family and medical leave program. Another question will ask voters to approve a new law that would increase the minimum wage. In addition, voters will be asked to decide whether to legalize recreational marijuana.
