Helping Cities and Towns Plan Fiscally Responsible Budgets House #14

Vote Description

This was a vote on Amendment #16 to H2017, the House Rules, which gives a March 31st deadline to let cities and towns know the minimum chapter 70 funding they will receive from the state. http://www.mass.gov/legis/journal/RollCallPdfs/190/00014.pdf?Session=190&RollCall=00014

Mass Fiscal Explanation

Mass Fiscal supports a yes vote because we believe this amendment increases transparency and gives municipalities better tools to act fiscally responsible. Many cities and town plan their annual budgeting in the spring, however this is difficult for them when they have no idea how much funding they will get from the state. This amendment would require only the minimum state funding to be available to cities and towns reasonably, by March 31st, although this does not limit them from being budgeted more money.
