Legislative Update continued from page 7 water authorities to address their water infrastructure more affordably. A well-maintained water infrastructure system is key to maintaining economic growth and creating new jobs. To this end, the future of the Commonwealth’s water infrastructure depends on increasing, not reducing, our investment in drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. Returning the funding for the contract assistance line-item to an amount last seen in FY02 is a step backwards. Accordingly, we respectfully request that the Conference Committee appropriate level-funding ($63,383,680) for line-item 1599-0093 to ensure that we continue to move forward. The Massachusetts Legislature passed an interim FY22 budget to cover the first month of the new budget year. In addition to reconciling the CWT contract assistance line-item, the Massachusetts legislature must negotiate differences in each branch’s approach to the film tax credit, additional fees for transportation network companies, the triaging and transport of severe stroke patients, and funding municipal priorities, among other issues. continued on page 11
