Wakefield would have appreciated some help from the state in this time of financial woes.
WAKEFIELD - There are no “gifts” from the state in the recently released Cherry Sheet, listing local aid and assessment figures for Fiscal Year 2009 which began on July 1. The $28.233 billion state budget was signed yesterday by Governor Deval Patrick (see separate story).$28 billion and none of it could have gone to our painfully under-funded public schools?
“There are really no surprises,” said Town Administrator Stephen P. Maio, who was expecting the numbers that were released.
The budget numbers drew a sharp rebuke from Selectman Chairman Betsy Sheeran, particularly with regard to the continued school aid funding gap.
