On January 28th, the Healey-Driscoll administration filed its budget proposal for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027. The $63.36 billion plan increases spending over the FY 2026 General Appropriations Act (GAA) by $2.3 billion (3.8 percent) and over the administration’s estimated spending level for FY 2026 by $668 million (1.1 percent).

On the same day that the budget was filed, MTF published its comprehensive analysis of the Governor’s spending plan. Over the next several weeks, that report will be supplemented by a series of FY 2027 Budget “Deep Dive” Briefs. Each report will delve deeper into specific aspects of the Governor’s budget, including funding and policy proposals related to the surtax, healthcare, education, workforce and transportation.
