The Governor's Budget for FY 2015 Yesterday, the Governor filed his budget proposal for FY 2015. Our new Budget Monitor shows how the Governor's budget would affect programs across state government, from health care and education to public safety and the environment--including information on tax revenues. The Governor's proposal does not include significant new revenue, which means that the investments he specifies are relatively modest. They include: Higher Education, which would see a third straight year of increases--albeit to levels still 22% below where they were in 2001 (adjusted for inflation) Elder Services, where increases would expand access to home care and improve quality Early Education & Care, where continued funding growth would help move more children off the wait list and into early education and care programs Read our full BUDGET MONITOR 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.
