It pays to recycle: Lessons from the Budget Crisis

OK Policy Articles & Research //

Just a quick post to let you know that the Oklahoman today ran an op-ed setting out the policy proposals we have developed for managing budget downturns. The op-ed was based on the full issue brief and 1-page summary we released last week, which was in turn based on the series of blog posts that we ran last month looking at forecasting, reserve funds, tax cuts and tax expenditures.  If you haven’t had the chance yet to take a look at what we’re proposing, we hope you’ll check out one of these pieces. No word yet on when our proposals will be released as a major motion picture with Happy Meal (TM)  tie-in.
