Evaluation and State Budget Crises: Observations from Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Virginia.

Johnson, Paul L.

Evaluation Practice, v13 n1 p59-72 Feb 1992

Interviews with state legislators from Wisconsin (D. Bezruki), Massachusetts (T. P. Kennedy), and Virginia (P. Leone) illustrate the roles that evaluation is playing in the current state budget crisis. The influence of evaluation data appears largely specific to individual programs rather than systematically applied to the budgeting process. (SLD)
