After months of campaign ads, debates, and political back-and-forth, voters will head to the polls Tuesday to decide whom to send to Washington. But in a pair of little-noticed, nonbinding ballot questions, some Massachusetts voters have the opportunity to tell the newly elected officials what they would like them to do when they get to Capitol Hill.
In much of Greater Boston, voters will consider an antiausterity measure that would call on elected officials to prevent cuts to social insurance programs by instead reducing military spending and raising taxes on the wealthy.

Section 8s should not be eliminated but they should be monitored. Once you get one, you have it for life no matter the change in circumstances? That's what happens. Rents became sky high because section 8 paid the highest rent possible for sub-par apartments. How about helping people with their rent but not paying 90%??????
