Jim O'Sullivan and Michael Norton report on the Senate's proposed budget.
The $27.88 billion appropriations bill, marked for floor debate next week, adds $53 million to the version that cleared the House last month and calls for roughly $330 million below what Gov. Deval Patrick spent in his budget. It raises overall state spending, compared to this year’s original budget, by about 3.5 percent.
Under the bill, cities and towns would see $159 million less in local aid, up to 4 percent less for each municipality.
WBUR and Steve LeBlanc have more.
