Financially, that could not work in MA. Prop 2 1/2 limits the increase in a municipality’s property tax levy to 2.5% plus new growth. So because of this, a lot of cities and towns rely heavily on State subsidies. You suddenly take that away, and very few communities could operate.

MA doesn’t receive enough in sales/hotels/meals taxes, to make up for income taxes. Florida can, since it’s primarily a tourism destination, plus they’re State services are already lacking to begin with.
