September 23, 1998 - This report examines recent economic developments in California, with special emphasis on how the state's major geographic economic regions have been faring. It also looks at the near-term outlook for the state and its economic regions.
August 26, 1998 - We review the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA 21) which reauthorized the federal transportation program. The TEA 21 authorized $217 billion to be invested in highway and transit infrastructure in the United States over the next six years.
August 24, 1998 - On August 21, 1998, the Governor signed the 1998-99 Budget Act, which along with various implementing measures (trailer bills), comprise a budget package that authorizes total state spending of $72 billion. This total includes $57.3 billion from the General Fund (a 7.3 percent increase from 1997-98) and $14.7 billion from special funds (a 1.7 percent increase).
August 18, 1998 - California's "Superfund" program, enacted in 1981 to clean up contaminated hazardous substance sites, sunsets on January 1, 1999. We make recommendations that are designed to address concerns raised about the program, while advancing the state's goals for protecting public health and the environment.

Ultimately, we believe the Legislature will need to broadly reexamine county government responsibilities and finance.

March 5, 1998 - In order to close the gap between transportation demand and revenue, the Legislature should consider not only policies to increase the supply of transportation capacity, but also those that restrain growth in demand.
