Boston City Council Passes Wu's $4.9 Billion FY2027 Budget

After a near-rejection, protests and arrests, councillors approved the $4.9 billion operating budget with $11.8 million of amendments, alongside a $4.4 billion five-year capital plan.

The $4.9 billion FY2027 operating budget and $4.4 billion FY2027-2031 capital plan fund day-to-day services and 321 capital projects^[1][3]
Almost 58% of operating spending goes to education and public safety; ARPA money shrinks because it must be spent by 31 December 2026^[1]
Councillors changed only $11.8 million, 0.2% of the total, after falling one vote short of rejecting the budget outright in May^[3]
Wu accepted all but a $1.4 million cut to the Transportation Department's staff, taking it from contracts instead to avoid layoffs^[3][4]
The amended budget first passed 12-1 on 10 June, Julia Mejia voting no, at a meeting protesters disrupted for more than two hours; eight were arrested^[5]
The council had already passed Boston Public Schools' $1.7 billion budget 8-5, which cuts more than 400 student-facing jobs^[3]
FY2027 runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027^[2]
