The budget does give municipalities additional flexibility to apply local revenues to CPA purposes.&lt;div class="read-more"&gt;&lt;a href="http://willbrownsberger.com/community-preservation-act/"&gt;Read more &amp;#8250;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end of .read-more --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The post &lt;a href="http://willbrownsberger.com/community-preservation-act/"&gt;Community Preservation Act changes incorporated in FY13 Budget&lt;/a&gt; appeared first on &lt;a href="http://willbrownsberger.com"&gt;Will Brownsberger&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ConversationsWithWillBrownsbergerBudget/~4/go89CGkzl4E" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
