- Since 1977, the Massachusetts High Technology Council, Inc. has developed an unmatched record of success by unifying CEO and senior executive decision makers to advance strategies that impact the most critical public policy decisions facing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, its job creators and its citizens. In June 2018, we celebrated another notableand historicleadership accomplishment which ranks in importance with several prior Council achievements, including: Enabling the passage of Proposition 2 (1980); drafting and securing the enactment of the states first R&D tax credit (1992); successfully leading a New England-wide collaboration to support the increasingly technology-oriented mission at Hanscom Air Force Base and the US Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick during the federal Base Realignment and Closure review at the request of Sen. Kennedy and Gov. Romney (2005); and engineering the repeal of the Legislatures expansion of the state sales tax to custom computer servicesthe so-called Tech Taxin 2013. On June 18, 2018 the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) declared the proposed amendment to the State Constitution to establish a permanent $2 billion per year personal income surtax invalid and unconstitutional. Ours was the first challenge to a proposed citizens initiative to amend the Constitution since 1937.
