2014 Braintree Budget Breakdown

Below is the department-by-department breakdown of what Mayor Joseph Sullivan has proposed for funding for fiscal year 2014.

Sullivan's $106 million fiscal year 2014 budget targets nearly two-thirds of a $4.76 million increase over the current year to the school department, with much of the remaining funding hike going to public safety, retirement and benefit costs and a variety of other departments.

The Committee on Ways & Means will examine the budget more closely, department-by-department, during a series of upcoming public meetings. See the schedule here: http://braintree.patch.com/articles/braintree-s-fiscal-year-2014-budget-review-schedule
