What Will Westford's Cherry Sheet Look Like For Fiscal Year '14?

Each year the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) issues a listing of what each municipality and school district in the Commonwealth will get in local aid and what it will have to pay to the state for certain specialized services.

It's still a long way to go until we see the cherry sheet for Fiscal Year '14, but if they came out today on the Governor's proposed numbers, here's how the changes would look for Westford according to the DOR between this Fiscal Year and next Fiscal Year (which begins on July 1.)

Representative Arciero warned that the legislature could signficantly change the numbers by the time the process is done, and today we want your take? What will the final numbers be for Westford?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
