The Mass Budget and Policy Center tackles the other half of the state budget that has a lot to do with local budgets: unrestricted local aid. A few highlights:
- there isn't an overall formula
- changes in calculations haven't taken into consideration changes in wealth that have happened in the past several years.
- there have been cuts and restorations, but they've been the reverse of progressive.
- reform is difficult (maybe impossible) without increases in revenue
