Colleagues –
This morning, the Massachusetts Municipal Association released a new report we believe is critical to understanding the severe financial challenges facing local cities and towns.
A Perfect Storm: Cities and Towns Face Historic Fiscal Pressures, developed in collaboration with the Center for State Policy Analysis, covers the larger forces pushing many municipalities near a fiscal breaking point.
Please see the report here – we’d welcome the opportunity to connect with you in the weeks ahead to hear your insights as we develop a set of recommendations to guide our work in the coming months.
