Forget the tax, look at the result. Amendment says it can’t go to anything except roads or schools. Enacting specific taxes for each line item on the budget is an ass backwards way of structuring the budget.

Next it’s gonna be $750k+ for mbta, or 500k+ for energy policy, or $250k for health, $100k for addiction, 75k for social services.

Manage the budget as a budget. If it needs reallocating, figure out how to prioritize issues. If you need more revenue (beyond all the new Vice taxes), so be it. But the budget needs more revenue, not a single line item.
