Boston Budget Includes Another Attempt To Cut Police Overtime


Boston City Hall. (Jesse Costa/WBUR)
Acting Mayor Kim Janey is proposing a $3.75 billion budget for Boston, an almost 4% increase over this year's spending.
The budget is bolstered by $215 million in federal coronavirus recovery funding, part of the American Rescue Plan Act. City officials say they anticipate a slight rebound of local revenue decimated by the pandemic, like meals and hotel taxes.
Also included is another attempt to cut the police overtime budget. Last year, then-mayor Marty Walsh reallocated $12 million from the police overtime budget to public health and other social services, dropping the overtime budget to $48 million.
The police department overran that and is on track to spend $65 million on overtime by the time the fiscal year ends in June. But the city is trying again this year, cutting budgeted overtime by a third, to $44 million.
