On April 15, Penn IUR and the Volcker Alliance hosted a virtual briefing to discuss the Alliance’s new report, Truth and Integrity in State Budgeting: Preparing for the Storm. The Special Briefing featured an expert panel to discuss fiscal reforms that many states put in place before the 2020 recession as well as the role of trillions of dollars in federal aid in restarting the economy and stabilizing state budgets.
Moderated by William Glasgall, Senior Vice President and Director of State and Local Initiatives, Volcker Alliance, and Penn IUR Co-Director Susan Wachter, this briefing was the 19th in a series of 60-minute online conversations featuring experts from the Volcker Alliance’s national research network and Penn IUR, along with other leading academics, economists, and fiscal policy leaders from around the U.S.
This special briefing featured presentations by Erica MacKellar, Policy Specialist, National Conference of State Legislatures; Gabriel Petek, Legislative Analyst, State of California; Juliette Tennert, Chief Economist, Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute; and Lisa Washburn, Managing Director, Municipal Market Analytics.
