Back in January, MA governor presented her budget for FY26. Commonly called house 1.
House 1 state aid to Templeton - $2,075,790.00
House ways & means $2,041,391.00
Used in revenue totals for the budget you just voted on Wednesday, total state aid for FY26 $2,048,909.00
Anyone have a crystal ball to tell me exactly how much total state aid Templeton will get? Can anyone tell me if Templeton will collect 100% of personal property and real estate taxes for FY26?
Town budget is a crap shoot based on estimates; there is financial history to aid in arriving at those estimates, but, nothing in stone.
Same with chapter 70 state aid to school districts.
Just in case you did not realize that.
