Boston Lost $65 Million In Revenue Due To Coronavirus Pandemic

BOSTON (CBS) - Boston Mayor Marty Walsh submitted a revised budget for the 2021 fiscal year Monday and it accounts for $65 million in lost revenue because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The $3.61 billion recommended budget is slightly lower than the initial proposal from April.

It includes plans to reallocate $12 million in police overtime spending to other programs like the Boston Public Health Commission.

Walsh made that announcement Friday, after declaring racism a public health crisis in the city.
