Governor Submit's House 2 Budget for FY'11

Updated On: Mar 11, 2010 (17:43:00)

Governor Deval Patrick has submitted his budget recommendations for FY 2011. This budget cuts the Sheriff’s Department’s budget by just over 1.5%. Each year the Governor submits a budget that is generally on the low side and the Legislature makes adjustments to the Governor’s numbers. We are hopeful that this will happen again this year and at a minimum the Sheriff’s will be level funded. Please find below the FY2010 vs. FY2011 budget figures:

FY2010 FY2011 Difference

Bristol County $20,128,000* $33,211,000
