States’ Long-Term Budget Gaps: Are There Any Solutions?

Nov. 30, 2009

New York State leaders and national experts on state finances explored fiscal problems facing the states and examined potential solutions at the Institute’s first national conference on states’ long-term budget gaps. Boyd called for state processes that force budget designers to take a longer-term view, abandoning one-year planning periods and paving the way for reduced volatility in revenue and expenditure cycles.
