What Will Chelmsford's Cherry Sheet Look Like For Fiscal Year '14?
The governor's plan gives Chelmsford about $260,000 more than last year from Boston in total, but will we see more or less than that?

Each year the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) issues a listing of what each municipality and school district in the Commonwealth will get in local aid and what it will have to pay to the state for certain specialized services.
It's still a long way to go until we see the cherry sheet for Fiscal Year '14, but if they came out today on the Governor's proposed numbers, here's how the changes would look for Chelmsford according to the DOR between this Fiscal Year and next Fiscal Year (which begins on July 1.)
