State of the States

We continue to closely follow the fate of Washington State’s budget, but are also keeping our eyes on what is happening in other states. Below are some resources that you might also find of interest:

Education Week provides brief coverage of and links to the State of the State addresses as they are made in each state.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) continues to track and report on state budget deficits and policy actions as they unfold.

The National Association of State Budget Officers (NASBO) posts links to reports and stories relating to state budgets, including this letter from Governor Gregoire to the Washington State federal delegation in response to the idea that the Federal Government may be considering legislation allowing for state bankruptcies.
