With some exceptions, all new Executive Branch hiring between April 3 and June 30 will need to be approved by the Executive Office of Administration and Finance based on time-sensitivity and the importance of positionsPointing to the possibility that tax revenues could sink further over the last three months of the budget year, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is imposing tighter controls on state government hiring as a way to manage spending.
The controls were announced hours before the Department of Revenue is scheduled to release tax revenue data for March. Gorzkowicz's office said there is significant risk that collections don't live up to budgeted revenues over the last quarter of the fiscal year , and pointed to last year's experience of missing April's revenue targets by $1.4 billion as an example of how much can change at the end of the budget year, when most budgeted spending has already occurred.
State tax collections have continued to come in below even the administration's downgraded benchmarks each month since.
