A year ago, with the Massachusetts economy hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, state lawmakers thought they would need to close a budget gap of $5 billion to $8 billion. State Sen. Adam Hinds, D-Pittsfield, chairs the Senate revenue working group, and he was asked to shift that group’s work to focus on ways for the state to bring in additional tax dollars, he told The Eagle. “Everything,” he said, was on the table so that the state could avoid spending cuts. A year later, the House and Senate have passed budgets for fiscal years 2021 and 2022 that avoided significant revenue proposals. Better-than-expected tax collections, a withdrawal from the “rainy day” fund and a new round of federal assistance, lawmakers said, helped fill in the gaps.
