Overview

State Budget Solutions (SBS), a project of the Center for State Fiscal Reform at the American Legislative Exchange Council, is a public policy organization with a mission to change the way state and local governments do business by reforming their approach to budgeting. State Budget Solutions has quickly emerged as a robust and nationally recognized source on public pension reform, state budgeting and fiscal policy. The New York Times, Fox Business News, Bloomberg, Huffington Post, Reuters, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Examiner, Washington Examiner and dozens of local and regional publications have cited and quoted State Budget Solutions. Sharing studies and articles, data sets, anecdotes, and compelling narrative about what is happening in state and local budgets, State Budget Solutions presents and disseminates information about every aspect of coming fiscal and economic disasters and, more importantly, highlights fundamental reforms to avoid them. State Budget Solutions presents fundamental reforms in state government and the budget process that reject business as usual--posing solutions as simple choices between higher taxes and citizen-valued services such as education and public safety.
