Mayor Michelle Wu criticized legislators Wednesday for failing to pass her tax shift proposal despite months of negotiations and compromise.

Wu’s plan to shift the city’s property tax burden onto commercial real estate to save homeowners money seemingly died on Beacon Hill.

Massachusetts state Sen. Will Brownsberger joins Radio Boston to discuss the collapse of Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's plan to avert a property tax spike for city homeowners by temporarily raising rates on commercial property owners.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s proposal to increase commercial property taxes was dealt an unrecoverable blow this week and is now dead.

As Wu readies herself to campaign for reelection next year, it remains to be seen whether she will face any fallout from aggrieved residents who will likely see their property taxes go up.
