Massachusetts voters will face an unusually consequential ballot this November. Nine statewide questions will address issues ranging from state revenues and housing development to elections, labor, marijuana, environmental funding, government transparency, and firearms regulation. (And there almost were 10. A Mintz team led by attorneys Elissa Flynn-Poppey and Ed Daley successfully persuaded the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to strike the proposed statewide rent control initiative from the ballot — a good reminder that sometimes the most consequential ballot question is the one that never makes it onto the ballot.)Â
