Former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick caused a bit of a stir last month when he said that taxes in Massachusetts, particularly the so-called “millionaires tax,” made it difficult to woo free agents who were considering signing with New England.
As the NFL season gets underway, one lawmaker is criticizing Belichick and pushing back on the narrative that taxes are meaningfully impacting roster construction.
“My message to Coach Belichick: ‘Thank you for the six Super Bowl titles, but please leave the tax policy to the experts,’” state Rep. Michael Connolly said in a social media post Friday.
