“Delivering a balanced and robust budget in spite of federal turmoil highlights our commitment
to protecting the core values of our Commonwealth,” said Crighton, Democrat of Lynn. “We are proud of this final budget that provides critical funding for transportation, housing, education and many other services that impact our constituents’ daily lives.”
Armini, a Marblehead Democrat, added, “At a time of uncertainty on the federal level, Massachusetts continues to lead with stability, compassion and a commitment to our communities. These local investments reflect our shared belief that government should be a force for good, meeting people where they are and helping our towns thrive.”
