flag Governor Healey proposes a $63B budget with cuts and expansions, no new taxes, amid federal funding loss.

flag Governor Maura Healey has proposed a $63 billion fiscal 2027 budget, a 3.8% increase, without new taxes, amid a projected $3.7 billion loss in federal funding and declining tax revenues under the Trump administration. flag The plan includes cuts to MassHealth coverage for weight loss drugs and a $1,000 annual cap on adult dental care, while expanding pre-K access, banning driver’s license suspensions for non-driving debts, and introducing speed cameras in school and construction zones. flag It also proposes a $5,000 tax credit for food-donating farmers and increases local aid by $10.4 billion. flag The budget faces Republican criticism over sustainability, as lawmakers begin reviewing it ahead of a final vote by the July 1 fiscal start.
