After months of negotiating and expending significant political capital, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s plan to shift the city’s property tax burden onto commercial real estate to save homeowners money seemingly died on Beacon Hill on Monday.
Wu needed lawmakers to approve the measure before City Council sets property taxes for next year, which the body is preparing to do Wednesday. So when the tax proposal was blocked once again in the state Senate on Monday, it appeared to be a fatal blow.
