Governor Deval Patrick released his FY2011 budget request to the Massachusetts House and Senate today. The House and Senate will each develop their own version of the FY2011 state budget. The House is expected to release it's version of the FY2011 state budget in April and the Senate in late May. In June, a joint House and Senate conference committee will review and resolve the differences in the FY2011 state budget. Then the FY2011 state budget goes to the full House and Senate to accept or reject the budget. Finally, the FY2011 state budget goes back to the Governor who has the authority to line item veto.
