At Wednesday’s Boston City Council meeting, the Council voted to reject Mayor Walsh’s budget. According to an update from Council President Michelle Wu, the Council must act on the budget by the 2nd Wednesday of June by city charter, so it is customary that they reject the budget without prejudice, allowing the Administration to resubmit the budget with changes reflecting feedback from recent Ways & Means Committee hearings.
