Question 6 on this year’s ballot asks voters to consider whether they want to dedicate tax revenue for a “Nature for All” fund aimed at land conservation. Consumers already pay the state’s sales tax when they buy sporting goods and recreational vehicles, or spend at a golf course. The proposed fund would put those tax dollars toward the protection or restoration of open spaces, land and waters. What would Question 6 do? Massachusetts has a goal of protecting 30% of its land and waters by 2030 to mitigate habitat loss and threats to biodiversity. Meeting that mark would be hard to do without financial support, according to Mass Audubon, which supports Question 6. But critics of the proposed fund say any actions that curtail or put demands on state budgeting processes are a slippery slope. The Nature for Massachusetts Coalition, which includes the more than 100 businesses and organizations in support of Question 6, estimate the proposed fund would set aside upwards of $100 million each year. A review by the nonprofit research firm Tufts Center for State Policy Analysis puts that number closer to $65 million. Each year, the state spends $400 million on recreation and conservation. As nature...
