Show Notes
Boston City Council proposes new measure: Legal immigrants to vote in local elections. Councilor Julia Mejia files home-rule petition, backed by seven others. Legal immigrants, who make up 28% of Bostons population and contribute $2.3 billion in taxes annually, seek representation in local decisions. Supporters argue for fairness, citing no taxation without representation. Opponents worry about trust in the voting system. Similar measures in Vermont, Maryland, California, and Washington, D.C. Petition heads to city committee for hearing, then needs approval from state legislature.
