Weymouth Town Council held public hearings on a $227.2M Fiscal Year 2027 budget with 4.1 percent growth. Mayor Michael Molisse's first budget as chief executive was presented by Acting CFO Ted Langill, featuring a $148.4M tax levy (up 3.7 percent) and $93.2M school allocation (35.6 percent of expenses). Residents testified for hours that Weymouth's per-pupil spending ranked in the state's bottom third and demanded level-service funding; recent cuts included French language programs affecting 100 students.
The town's AA credit rating and $7.2M in new growth over three years supported a strong fiscal outlook. Council vote scheduled for June 15.
