The Mercatus Center at George Mason University recently released a policy brief that offers suggestions on how states can begin to climb out of their fiscal holes In Seven Key Aspects of Governing During Crisis, Maurice McTigue and Daniel M. Rothschild present a toolkit of seven ideas and procedures for state policy makers to evaluate budget shortfalls and find opportunities for reform.
