While it suggested there was an end in sight to months of political infighting between Democrats on Beacon Hill and in City Hall, it won’t fix a foundational problem facing the city’s financial future,

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu wants to save homeowners money by increasing the tax burden on commercial property owners.

Mayor Michelle Wu’s proposal to raise commercial tax rates is continuing to stir controversy in Boston, with many residents up-in-arms over the plan, which is expected to make drastic reductions to city services but provide homeowners with relief.

The average single family home in Boston could see a 28 percent spike in their January property tax bill compared with the previous quarter's bill without Wu's measure in place, according to preliminary data from the city.

At a town hall Wednesday, Mayor Wu urged residents to push state senators to support her proposal to limit a jump in property taxes for homeowners by increasing them for commercial landlords.
