EVENT: Wed., Jan. 28---PATRICK BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS

In recent years, the news emanating from annual budget announcements on Beacon Hill has largely centered around which accounts would be infused with the largest amounts of new cash. Wednesday's announcements from Gov. Deval Patrick won't fall into that category, as the news will center on which dramatic steps the governor plans to take to push the fiscal 2009 back into the black and balance, at least on paper, a spending plan for fiscal 2010, which begins July 1, 2009.
