LOCAL AID

The Governor’s plan does not cut the state’s major unrestricted local aid accounts. It does, however, reduce some funding for cities and towns.

  • The plan proposes reducing Payments in Lieu of Taxes to communities with state property by $10.8 million.
  • The plan also proposes reducing Quinn bill funding by $5 million. This account reimburses cities and towns for payments they make pursuant to the Quinn bill, which provides additional pay for police officers who have received degrees in criminal justice. (Quinn bill spending is included in the Law and Public Safety category in MassBudget budget and spending figures.)
