#MillionaireTax That Inspired #Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in #Massachusetts

By Greg Ryan
October 21, 2025

Excerpt: "Boston Mayor #MichelleWu — whom Mamdani has called a role model — recently chastised executives for complaining about the tax. She contends that the region’s talent pool and livability are more important to its economic competitiveness.

"Many high-income taxpayers are staying in the Boston area despite the tax hike."

Boston election Nov. 4 2025: District 9 endorsements

Tomorrow is a municipal election in the city of Boston. Municipal elections matter. If you live in Boston you should be voting in every primary, every preliminary election, every election, every year.

Here are my endorsements for tomorrow’s election in District 9 and city-wide.

Michelle Wu is running unopposed, so whether you vote for her doesn’t “matter” in the sense that it will not influence the outcome of the race. For that, I hope you voted in the preliminary election in September! In any case, you should vote for her anyway to let her know you support her. She has been a good mayor and she deserves your support.

In the District 9 City Council race, you should vote for Liz Breadon. Her opponent, Pilar Ortiz, is both decent and competent, and I look forward to voting for her in the future when she is the best candidate on the ballot, but as for this year, Liz is doing a good job and has been on the Council long enough to form important experience, connections, and alliances that Pilar doesn’t have. A little bit of inside baseball: a lot of people in Pilar’s orbit, including Mayor Wu whose administration she worked in, told her this was not the time for her to run, but for some reason that is frankly inexplicable to me, she didn’t listen.

In the at-large City Council race, I am voting for Henry Santana, Marvin Mathelier, Ruthzee Louijeune, and Julia Mejia. Henry, Ruthzee, and Julia are all incumbents who have proven themselves decent and competent. Erin Murphy and Frank Baker are Trump-supporting chuds whom I wouldn’t vote for under any circumstances. I have nothing in particular against Will Onuoha or Alexandra Valdez—I think they’d probably do fine—but Mathelier has been endorsed by both Liz and Ruthzee, and I trust them and want them to have the allies they want on the Council to help them continue to make progress on their objectives, which I support.

By the way, it’s not a coincidence that none of the people I’m endorsing are white men.

It was yuuuge! Saw several helicopters and one drone flying overhead.

The MC had good energy. The music was some good, some mediocre, the speakers were "what you would expect at an event like this". There was a heckler who tried to interrupt #MichelleWu's speech. Michelle was very professional about it and completely ignored the guy, did not get distracted, made sure that she was right in the microphone so that her remarks were louder. She said various dramatic things that we were all supposed cheer after and so she paused at the right time and we cheered appropriately. So the heckler did not achieve his goals. The MC then talked about how "we don't all agree in this movement and that's okay, but we need to all be in the movement. We need to not be divided." Which was good and off-the-cuff and well spoken. Which he did a couple of other times on different topics.
