The Joint Committee on Transportation yesterday released a bond bill that would authorize $300 million for the Chapter 90 local road and bridge program for fiscal 2026, a 50% increase over previous years.
The bill (H. 4257) would distribute $200 million based on the traditional Chapter 90 formula and $100 million based on road miles only.
The committee’s proposal is a one-year authorization, whereas the governor had previously proposed $300 million per year for five years.
The committee’s nearly $1.2 billion borrowing bill would also authorize $200 million for a culvert and small bridge program overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, along with $500 million for a MassDOT bridge and pavement asset management program and $185 million for congestion and safety initiatives.
The Democrats in the Legislature and the Democrat in the Governor's Chair paid more than a Billion Dollars cash to feed and house illegal aliens who invaded America and chose Massachusetts as their place to loaf.
