Mass. Senate unanimously passes free birth control bill

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Actually that's not true in this case , as any time the state wants to raise taxes they are required to get approval from the voters.

In 2014 the state wanted to bail out people who had lots of student loan debt , but since it would require raising taxes to do so or going in debt they had to get approval from the voters , and the voters decided not to approve it .

This is why tax increases should never be put to referendum.
