Yesterday, Governor Deval Patrick released his fiscal year 2014 budget proposal, calling for an investment of $9.6 million in the arts, humanities, and sciences through the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC).
This is, essentially, level funding compared with 2013. From here, the House and Senate will release their own budget recommendations in April and May, respectively. The two chambers must then agree on a budget before sending it back to the Governor for final approval before the new fiscal year begins July 1.
Get involved with MASSCreative during the next step in the process – the House budget’s appropriation to the MCC.
