Great stuff from The Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis:
As promised, upon the release of proposed budgets by the money committees, TCI has analyzed each for key changes and important information that would impact the commonwealth.
We’ve since produced our easy-to-read comparison of the two proposals placing key choices and differences alongside the governor’s introduced budget — you can find our side-by-side analysis on our website. You can also find TCI’s initial statement on the budget proposals on our website.
