Economic proposals spotlight taxes, small-business support and job training
Summary
At the Lynn City forum, candidates pitched tax reforms, small-business lending changes and workforce education as remedies for cost pressures and declining middle-class opportunity.
Economic policy featured prominently. John Boettcher emphasized tax relief for working families, repealing tariffs he said have raised prices, and reforming the tax code so corporations pay their fair share. He also called for expanded vocational and technical education and student loan relief. "We need to reform our tax code so the rich in the corporations pay their fair share," he said.
Dan Cohen highlighted his experience working on prescription drug pricing in the White House and argued his government background would help lower costs for families. Both men framed economic plans as tools to restore the middle class and support small businesses in Lynn and the North Shore.
