MassPTA has been working with Citizens for Public Schools and other organizations to bring in more revenue to support education funding by asking the legislature to pass the Municipal Partnership Act and closing tax loopholes. Taxing telephone poles was part of the Governor's Municipal Partnership Act - the legislature did not pass this portion of the act, but it appears that the Appelate Tax Board and the judiciary have taken the initiative. Please note that this is likely to be appealed, but could still result in increased revenue in FY 09.
