The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a stay on the Biden Administration's order to businesses with 100 or more employees to require workers to get vaccinated for coronavirus or submit to weekly testing.

Is the proposed surtax on million-dollar earners an opportunity to raise large sums of money for vital public needs from the wealthiest residents of Massachusetts? Or is it a job-killer that would stick it to small business owners and end up hurting everyone?
And is it a done deal, because a supermajority of voters in Massachusetts support it? Or is the outcome less clear?
