Ballot questions:

Question 1: Sales tax on alcoholic beverages
A proposed law to remove the 6.25 percent Massachusetts sales tax on alcoholic beverages and alcohol, where the sale of those beverages or their importation into the state is already subject to a separate excise tax under state law. The law would take effect on January 1, 2011. A "yes" vote would remove the state sales tax on the aforementioned beverages; a "no" vote would make no change.

Question 2: Comprehensive permits for low- or moderate-income housing
A proposed law that would repeal an existing state law that allows a qualified organization wishing to build government-subsidized housing that includes low- or moderate-income units to apply for a single comprehensive permit from a city or town's Zoning Board of Appeals, rather than separate permits from each local agency or official having jurisdiction over an aspect of the proposed housing. The law would take effect on January 1, 2011, but would not affect any proposed housing that has already received a comprehensive permit, as well as a building permit, for at least one unit. A "yes" vote would repeal the current state law allowing the issuance of a comprehensive permit; a "no" vote would make no change in the current law.

Question 3: Sales and use tax rates
A proposed law to reduce the state sales and use tax to 3 percent as of January 1, 2011. (The sales and use tax was increased to 6.25 percent as of September 2009.) A "yes" vote would reduce the state sales and use tax; a "no" vote would make no change in the state sales tax.

Question 4
Question 4 asks if a charter study commission should be created to study the governmental structure of Plymouth County. The commission would consider the current form of government and make recommendations.

Question 5
Question 5 is non-binding and asks if the state representative from this district should be instructed to vote in favor of legislation that would allow patients, with the written recommendation of their doctor or other registered caregiver, to possess and grow marijuana for the patient's medical use.
