Preliminary Analysis:
The House Ways & Means
Fiscal Year 2012 Budget
April 13, 2011
With federal fiscal relief for states ending in Fiscal Year 2012, Massachusetts faces a budget gap of approximately $1.9 billion (the gap between the cost of maintaining current services and the revenue expected to be available).
The House Ways & Means budget proposed today closes this gap primarily with cuts and savings. These reductions affect virtually all areas of government, from health care and public health, to local aid, funding for education, and human services.
Preliminary Analysis: The House Ways & Means Fiscal Year 2012 Budget provides an overview of spending proposals in various areas of the House Ways & Means budget. MassBudget will release a more detailed analysis of the House Ways & Means budget plan in a Budget Monitor next week.
