on FY21?

Not unexpected, but this isn't good:
Gov. Charlie Baker filed his spending plan for fiscal 2021, which begins on July 1, in January, and Michlewitz is supposed to release his version next month for the House to debate. That now appears unlikely to happen.
“Were dealing with an unprecedented situation and people are having to put a lot on hold. We’re seeing it all over the country, in all different segments of the economy. The budget process will not be any different,” Michlewitz said in an interview with News Service on Monday night.
“We’re not ready to make a determination, but it would seem highly unlikely that we would have a budget in April at this point in time,” he said.
There is of course national concern over what the coronavirus will do to state budgets.
