About this title

Synopsis

How is the California budget developed? And how does that development process affect government spending later? To answer these questions, the author focuses on the two distinct stages in which budgets are made: first, during communications between the governor's budget office and executive agencies, and second, when the executive branch communicates its budget proposal to the legislature. The report also provides an overview of California's budgeting practices over time (and the reform efforts that preceded them) and a comparison of these practices to those in other states. A quantitative analysis of the effect of budgeting practices on spending completes this investigation into how state budgets are developed.
