BOSTON – State Senator Julian Cyr is touting the passage of the Senate’s $41.5 billion fiscal year 2019 budget.
The budget includes funding to address the opioid epidemic, offering tax relief to small and seasonal business owners, funding municipal police and firefighter training, and child advocacy programs.
“Budgets are about values. I have spent the last year-and-a-half listening to my constituents in our very large and economically diverse district to see how to best advocate for them in the budget,” said Cyr. “I am proud of the successes we’ve had, and at the same time I know that there is much more to do.”
Senator Cyr says that his own amendments successfully secured $640,000 in local funding for Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and $8.6 million in funding for statewide programs.
