Governor Healey signs $61 billion state budget, but while also slashing funding, delaying earmarks
Healey's moves trimmed the state budget for the fiscal year that began Tuesday to $60.9 million, and go beyond a series of cost-cutting maneuvers that Democratic legislators embraced in their own negotiations. In a statement, the first-term Democrat said she is 'proud' to sign the plan on the heels of Congress on Thursday sending Trump a hulking bill that includes about $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and, analysts say, will add trillions to the federal deficit. The federal bill, Healey said, will also ultimately kick Advertisement 'We are . . . signing this budget in a moment of great dysfunction in Washington,' Healey said. Before they sent Healey the budget, lawmakers had already Advertisement Lawmakers also quietly included a cushion against ongoing financial and economic uncertainty, according to The plan included an unspent balance of roughly $800 million, which the think tank said 'could mitigate negative tax revenue impacts in the future.' Senate budget officials later confirmed they left $805 million unspent to 'insulate residents from financial headwinds,' be it from changes imposed by the federal government or elsewhere. Legislative leaders also reworked the proposal to lean more heavily on revenue generated by the state's surtax on high earners, for which revenue has Healey went further. Her office said she vetoed an additional $130 million in spending across dozens of line items, including a proposal to scale back coverage for GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic to treat obesity for state employees, which her administration said would save $27.5 million. Healey also vetoed $25 million that would fund an expansion in MassHealth nursing home rates, and another $5 million tabbed for workforce assistance in state shelters. Lawmakers can opt to try to override the vetoes. State officials said Healey will also hold back $125 million in local earmarks, which can cover everything from new firefighter equipment to senior centers. Her administration said it could decide whether to release the money in October, when Healey's budget czar has to certify whether state revenues can cover expenses. Advertisement Healey also plans to stretch an In addition to signing the budget Friday, Healey also filed an additional spending bill that seeks to expand her power to make spending cuts. Matthew Gorzkowicz, Healey's budget chief, said the proposal would allow Healey to do unilateral mid-year spending cuts not only in the executive branch, where she currently has the power to order reductions, but across the whole of state government if falling tax revenue or federal changes blow a hole of $400 million or more into the state's spending plan this fiscal year. 'This budget also takes proactive steps to make sure Massachusetts is prepared to confront an uncertain economic future,' Gorzkowicz said in a statement. Not all of Healey's cuts were welcome. Healey vetoed $10 million that was slated to go to the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, slashing the Legislature's proposed $20 million appropriation in half. In a letter to lawmakers, Healey said that 'alternative funding has been identified to offset this reduction.' But state Senator Mike Barrett, a Lexington Democrat who serves as the Senate chair on the Legislature's energy committee, said the move to cut the funding was a 'genuine shock.' The governor herself has Advertisement Republicans in Washington are simultaneously moving to dramatically roll back tax breaks that could boost clean energy projects. 'This is a truly strange moment,' Barrett said. 'We're administering a one-two punch when the The budget Healey signed commits to spending $2.4 billion from money raised by the so-called millionaires tax, a $500 million increase from what House and Senate lawmakers initially agreed to and more than $1 billion above what they budgeted for in surtax revenue this fiscal year. That includes covering nearly $500 million of what lawmakers dedicated to local school districts with the surtax revenue. The budget is more than a spending plan, though. Healey signed off on a Lawmakers shipped the plan to Healey's desk on Monday. The governor is allowed 10 days to review bills, meaning she had nearly another week before she needed to act on the proposal. The early action comes after members of Congress passed Trump's signature bill of tax breaks and spending cuts ahead of his self-imposed July 4 deadline. The effects on Massachusetts are already coming into view, though Healey administration officials said it could be weeks until they have a clearer picture. Provisions contained in both the Senate and House versions of the bill could strip health insurance from Advertisement Hospitals here The Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts could lose $14 million, roughly half its operating budget, and money would be stripped from 'No state — not even one as strong and resilient as Massachusetts — can fully make up for the devastating funding cuts this cruel and reckless bill would cause," Senate President Karen E. Spilka said Thursday after the US House sent the bill to Trump. Before sending Healey the budget bill, lawmakers declined to include Advocates told the Globe this week that unless Healey and the Legislature authorize additional funding again this fiscal year, DTA may have to lay off hundreds of caseworkers at the same time federal changes usher in a vast expansion of onerous, complex work rules. In the additional spending bill Healey filed Friday, she is also asking lawmakers to set aside $100 million for what she called a 'flexible pool of resources,' which administration officials said could be used for DTA caseworkers. Healey, who in both 2023 and 2024 took the full 10 days to review and sign the spending plan, is not alone in the race to react to Congress.

Circus SE Gets Awarded International Red Dot Award 'Best of Best' for Outstanding Industrial Design
MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a global technology leader in AI software and robotics for the food service industry, has been awarded the prestigious international Red Dot Award for outstanding industrial design in the 'Best of the Best' category – the highest recognition in the annual Red Dot Awards. As one of the most respected global design awards, the Red Dot Award honors groundbreaking innovation across industries. With this rare distinction, Circus joins the ranks of Google, Ferrari, and Apple – whose MacBook Pro and AirPods Pro have previously earned the same honor. The CA-1 was honored in the 'Ready for Market' category which is eligible only to products that are market-ready. This category recognizes innovations that have completed the design journey and are poised for commercial deployment at scale. With serial production underway and commercial deployment beginning this fall, Circus SE's CA-1 Series 4 perfectly meets the award's criteria. Following the upcoming ceremony in October, the iconic CA-1 design will be featured in the Red Dot Winner Exhibition at the Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore, where it will be showcased to an international audience of innovators, designers, and technologists. 'This award is a powerful validation of the vision and discipline that went into the CA-1,' said Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO and Founder of Circus SE. 'We always wanted to build a system that people trust, understand, and enjoy interacting with – something truly designed for everyday life.' The design of the CA-1 was developed in collaboration with renowned German industrial designer Mario Selic, known for his work in advanced robotics and consumer innovation with companies such as KUKA, Siemens, and Bosch and was subsequently refined and engineered for serial production by Circus' in-house teams. 'From the early sketches, the ambition was to create something radically functional yet architecturally clear – a robotic system that integrates seamlessly into human spaces,' said Selic. 'We were inspired by Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, the Airstream trailer, and Bauhaus principles – clean geometry, minimalism, and design that disappears into its surroundings while elevating them.' 'CA-1 began with a strong conceptual foundation, and throughout the design maturation, we remained committed to preserving the original design intent. We wanted to develop an autonomous product that feels effortless – for the operator, the environment, and the customer,' added Gustavo Kemmerich, Head of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design at Circus SE, who was instrumental over the years in bringing the CA-1 to serial manufacturing. This recognition cements Circus SE's role as a pioneer at the intersection of robotics, design, and everyday human experience – redefining how machines live, work, and serve among us. About Circus SE Circus SE (XETRA: CA1) is a global AI and robotics company developing autonomous systems for food supply in both civilian and defense sectors.
