Speaker:Herb Hill, Director
of Planning and Budget, Commonwealth of Virginia
Topic: Fiscal crisis
and governmental restructuring and reorganization
The Federal System Panel and the Management
Network of The Finance Project both selected the fiscal crisis
for state and local governments as the topic for their meetings
on March 7 and invited many of the same participants, so the
two organizations decided to combine resources and hold a
joint meeting for the first time. The Management Network,
an informal group composed of representatives of state and
local public interest groups and others involved in intergovernmental
programs, meets regularly to share perspectives and best practices
in areas of mutual interest.
As is the group's custom, after the speaker's
presentation, the participants went around the table reporting
on recent experiences in their organizations and the fiscal
issues facing their organizations. The Finance Project staff
also shared the results from a recent survey of the members
of the Management Network on their experiences with the costs
and functions involved in efforts to improve homeland security
programs.
