Deadlocked Democrats attempting to negotiate a fiscal year 2024 state budget received more time Thursday from Gov. Maura Healey to come up with a compromise.

Healey filed a $6 billion interim spending plan just before 1 p.m. that is expected to keep state government functioning through August as a panel of six lawmakers hashes out a full, overdue budget behind closed doors.

Top Democrats have not made clear this week what is holding up a fiscal 2024 budget, but proposals from the House and Senate include notable policy differences.

Senate President Karen Spilka said she is “hoping” to see a deal before August but did not elaborate on what sticking points have arisen between negotiators.

“Both sides are hard at work,” she told the Herald while exiting the Senate chamber Thursday. “We are moving forward so we’ll see.”

A spokesperson for House Speaker Ronald Mariano did not immediately respond to a request for comment. House budget chief Rep. Aaron Michlewitz did not immediately respond to an inquiry.

At an unrelated press conference on Wednesday, Healey would also not detail what she thought was keeping the House and Senate at odds.

“I know the Legislature is working hard on this. It’s all part of the process,” Healey said. “And, you know, it is July and I hope that we receive a budget soon.”

She struck a similar tone in a letter to lawmakers that accompanied the interim budget on Thursday.

“In order to ensure that the commonwealth will be able to meet its payment obligations without delays, I urge your favorable action on this bill no later than July 31, 2023,” Healey wrote.

Both the House and Senate were holding formal sessions Thursday afternoon where legislators could advance the interim budget.
