BOSTON – A Senate committee on Tuesday unanimously endorsed an annual budget that includes funding for 150 new residential substance abuse treatment beds, hundreds of new rental assistance vouchers and investments in education programs that exceed appropriations approved by the House in April.
The $39.497 billion budget roughly hews to the proposals by Gov. Charlie Baker and the House, which aim to limit spending growth next year to about 3.5 percent. The full Senate is set to take up the budget starting Tuesday, May 24 with a Thursday deadline for filing amendments.
"Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed." – Dale Carnegie
One of the hardest things I've done at work was firing a customer. Oh, man, it took courage. We'd had a good relationship for many years, but then the company hired a new leader to manage the work with us. This new leader showed little interest in our input, lacked professionalism and didn't seem to care about having a trusting relationship.
