Reading Assignment Chapter 13: Public Financial Management
Unit Lesson
Budgeting is an important area within public institutions. This allows the jurisdiction to reference these important documents when there are questions regarding expenditures, line item purchases, and overall capital budgets. Capital budgets normally are written and established in the year prior to the implementation, for example, budgets for 2013 would be asked for during 2012. These budgets can be used for formulating how much of a surplus will be made available for contractors that may be working for the institution, security measures such as cameras that may be needed for security at a public venue, and being able to budget for supplies that are required for everyday functioning capacity within the organization. Budget formatting can be intriguing for most public entities and the professionals working within those organizations.
The size of technological spreadsheets that cite policies and create a timeline for the expenditures being used have a section specially designated for program objectives, and have a section that normally is set aside to delineate the government’s total service effort. The flow of management funds is the backbone of any institution, government entity, or public service venue. Without the flow of monetary compensation and grant money distribution, there will be limited capabilities for the designated organization to perform the work necessary to manage the business. As with many changes over the past several decades, monetary systems and funds being made available are beginning to diminish from the Federal government. The monies that are received, for example, by a fire department can be used to purchase apparatus, new firefighting clothing and protective equipment, and other provisions to support the public organization.
While looking at the budget from the federal, state, local, or community governments, consideration must be given to whether the monies being used and given to local entities are going to be used for economic growth. There will be disagreements concerning the appropriation of funds and fund management for the communities, but also for the main distributor-the federal government. The budget is the key focal point for public administration to function and make decisions. Monies that are received by public entities create a huge sense of power for those who shape the methods of how the monies are going to be spent. The upper management or executives must learn the conceptual framework that is used for budgeting, financing, and the allocation of those funds that have been received. Thus an accountant will be necessary for any good executive team within the organization. There are several different types of budgets that can be issued for an organization:.

Bush Tax Cuts
Position in favor of the Policy:
The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts policy was meant to reduce marginal income tax rates and capital gains and dividends. All taxpayers got a reduction in their tax rates depending on their income thresholds. Additionally, the estate tax was completely phased out until 2010. These changes provided significant benefits to the middle class, who got their tax rates reduced by a margin of 3 to 5 percent. This fact means that people in the middle class got to keep a larger share of their salaries and improve their livelihoods. Additionally, all American citizens benefit from a child credit tax rising from $500 to $1000 per child. This change made it easier for low-income families to support their children adequately by providing for their basic needs. Further, there was a marriage penalty relief provision that resulted in the doubling of the basic standard deduction for couples that jointly owned property.
The stated changes lessened the financial burden placed on American citizens. Before the policy, low-income households had to pay a 15 percent tax rate to the government. This condition left a majority of low-income families struggling to meet their financial needs. The Bush tax cuts lowered their tax returns to 10 percent, allowing these families to comfortably budget their overall income (Hungerford, 2010). Additionally, the child credit tax made it easier for parents to meet the basic needs of their children. In the American commun.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

one-time sources of money (such as federal stimulus dollars and
state trust funds and reserves) to close the state budget gap. In fact,
one-time cash transfers accounted for about 82% of the proposed
fiscal year 2010 “budget balancing package”.3
As a result, policymakers will face a cumulative two-year budget gap
of nearly $1 billion when the General Assembly reconvenes next year.4
Health Care Spending: Growing on Autopilot,
Crowding Out Other Priorities
9 Ten years ago, education, prisons, and health care consumed
about 54 cents of every General Fund dollar. By 2009 that
figure had grown to 76 cents, and that figure is projected to
grow to 91 cents in five years if spending trends continue.5
9 Medicaid eligibility has been expanded more than a dozen
times since 2001.6 This has increased total Medicaid caseload
in Colorado from around 275,000 people a decade ago to
nearly 500,000 in 20097 and more than doubled the state’s
portion of Medicaid spending.8
9 The recently approved federal health care bill could cost
Colorado as much as $850 million in expanded Medicaid
obligations over six years.9
9 The rapid growth in these programs creates tough choices,
putting Colorado’s infrastructure and world class higher
education system of at risk.
9 In 2009, transportation spending was effectively removed from
the state’s general fund, and state general fund support for higher
education shrunk from nearly $750 million in 2007 to $428
million in 200910 — a reduction of more than 40%.
3. State Government: Making Matters Worse
9 Legislators rejected efforts in 2006 to establish a “rainy day
fund” for use during lean budget years. Had proposed
legislation designed to create the fund been approved at that
time, the fund would have contained an emergency reserve of
some $2.1 billion in 2009.11
9 Legislators repealed the state’s decades-old spending limit in
2009, which had limited annual spending growth on General
Fund programs to no more than 6% above the prior year.
9 Despite record job losses in Colorado’s private sector, the
number of state employees12 rose from around 48,000 in 2006
to 52,430 in 2009.13
9 Some 2,300 new state workers alone were hired during a so-called
government hiring freeze.14
9 Average annual compensation for state workers has ballooned
to nearly $70,000 per year15, and one recent analysis found
that state workers make as much as 16% more than their
counterparts in local governments or the private sector.16
9 An executive order issued in 2007 unionized state government
workers. Just two years later — during the height of the state
budget crisis — the newly created union was actively lobbying
state lawmakers for even higher state salaries financed by
numerous increases in sales taxes.17
9 Personnel compensation has steadily risen as a percentage
of overall state spending since 2006, after dropping as a
percentage of overall expenditures between 2000 and 2006.
This growth in the state’s personnel costs has diverted dollars
away from roads and schools.
9 In all, more than 1,100 state employees18 each earned more
than $125,000 in 2009.19

SENSE
Policy Roundtable
“Create a pro-business tax environment to increase
revenues, make government operations more efficient and
keep health care spending in check.”
4. The Way Forward
# Restore Fiscal Restraint. Reinstate the hard limit on
state General Fund spending, establish a “Rainy Day” fund
for future recessions, and introduce zero-based budgeting.
# Personnel Reform. Bring state salaries into line with
the private sector, make it easier for policymakers to dismiss
or reduce the compensation of inefficient and incompetent
employees, and reduce total payroll costs as a percentage of
overall state spending.
# Entitlement Reform. Require the approval of a
legislative supermajority or state voters for any proposed
expansion of existing entitlement programs, or the creation
of any new ones. Improve means testing by seeking federal
approval to re-impose a minimum asset test for Medicaid
participants, and give policymakers the flexibility to adjust
eligibility levels consistently with budget constraints. Review
recent entitlement expansions that have resulted in a
redistribution of state funds away from higher education and
infrastructure and toward more social spending.
# Enhance Revenues Through Tax Reform.
Tax reforms are needed to ensure a pro-growth environment
for Colorado businesses. In addition to phasing out the
Business Personal Property Tax, policymakers should revisit
a number of sales tax hikes that have increased costs for a
number of strategic industries. Since 2009 alone, legislators
have raised taxes on vehicles, investment, E-commerce,
software, agricultural compounds, and energy used for
manufacturing. Repealing these tax hikes will help these
sectors to expand, create jobs, and subsequently generate
additional tax revenue for the state.
# Revenue Recovery Strategy. As the economy
recovers, and revenues to the state with it, dedicate new
state dollars to areas that have been cut — namely, higher
education and infrastructure expansion and improvement.
# Consolidation of State Agencies, Offices,
Boards and Commissions. Many of these bodies serve
duplicate or overlapping purposes and do little more than
reproduce functions that could easily be handled by existing
state departments. These bodies sap state resources in the
form of salaries, staff time, travel allowances, reporting
requirements, per diems, and budgets.
# Privatization of Non-Essential State Functions.
A top to bottom review of state services must be conducted
to identify functions currently performed by government that
could be practically and cost-effectively outsourced to the
private sector.
