Local Aid

The following information from DOR might be of interest to some:


On March 20, 2008, the State Senate approved House Bill 4595, which was previously approved by the House of Representative. House Bill 4595 is a resolution concerning the three major local aid accounts. This resolution represents a legislative agreement as to the amounts of Chapter 70, Additional Assistance and Lottery aid to be paid to municipalities and regional school districts in FY09. These amounts are consistent with the aid appearing in Section 3 of the Governor's FY09 Budget Proposal (House 2). The Legislature approved this measure to provide reliable estimates for local governments to use in their budget planning process.

We have posted an Excel spreadsheet on the Municipal Databank website with the amounts for each city, town and regional school district. The spreadsheet is available for downloading at:

All other Cherry Sheet programs will be subject to debate as the House and Senate prepare their budget proposals. The House Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to release their version of the budget in April and the Senate version will be available in May.

Updated preliminary Cherry Sheet estimates to reflect the amounts contained in the resolution will be posted on the DLS website early next week. However, all other program estimates will remain blank until the House and Senate budget proposals have been released. For these accounts, the Governor's Budget estimates represent the best available numbers for budget planning purposes. Please be aware that these other estimates will likely change as the state budget process unfolds.
