    Worcester, MA
    Budget

    The Worcester Regional Research Bureau issued a report breaking down the City of Worcester and Worcester Public Schools' Fiscal Year 2023 budget, which took effect July 1, 2022. The document explains the city's Council-Manager form of government structure, including the roles of the City Council (11 members), City Manager, Mayor, School Committee, and Superintendent in the budget process, where expenditures must balance revenues and the City Council can only reduce—not increase—line items in the proposed budget. The report addresses how municipalities must balance fixed costs like debt service and pensions while prioritizing areas such as education, public safety, economic development, and public services.
