The Legislature's Budget Proposal
Yesterday (July 1), the House and Senate approved a budget proposal for FY 2014. Though the Governor may veto parts of it, this joint budget includes most of the provisions that will make up the state budget for the coming year.

Our new Budget Monitor shows how the proposal would affect core programs across the budget, from Health Care and Education to Youth Employment and the Environment--including information on revenue. Some of the more significant elements include:

  • State-wide investments to fix and repair our transportation system

  • Roughly $100 million in additional funding for higher education, including UMass, state universities, and community colleges

  • A variety of increases in public health programs that support family planning and protect consumers


The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget) produces policy research, analysis, and data-driven recommendations focused on improving the lives of low- and middle-income children and adults, strengthening our state's economy, and enhancing the quality of life in Massachusetts.
