Be informed. Get involved. City Council President Bill Linehan will hold a hearing on the alcohol tax proposal on Wednesday, May 27th at 11am at City Hall. Linehan and Councilor Frank Baker have filed a home rule petition to fund addiction recovery efforts through a 2 percent tax on all alcohol sold in the City of Boston. With addiction costs escalating in Boston, the tax is designed to generate more than $20 million specifically for pathways to recovery, leading to an increase in the effectiveness of long-term treatment. The hearing will address the need for the revenue and specific services of treatment and prevention it will provide.
