States have been through a series of tough budget cycles in the last years, and some suggest more stress is ahead. This program will look at the current state of budgets and long-term challenges.
This conference was co-hosted by Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago, New York and Philadelphia in partnership with John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and National Association of Budget Officers (NASBO).
Budget directors and experts provide an overview of conditions. How are states handling the gaps? Are they utilizing recurring solutions or just more gap filling?
