Citizens'
Budget
2003-2005
Released April 30,
2003
Although 45
states face budget shortfalls for the coming fiscal year,
the State of California is faced with a deficit in the ballpark
of $30 billion — by far the nation's largest. Working
with Reason Foundation, The Performance Institute applied
the methodologies and strategies it routinely uses with federal
agencies and programs to the State of California's proposed
FY04 budget. What we found was that governments facing budget
deficits have more than two choices -- It is no longer merely
an issue of raising taxes or slashing budgets across the board.
Our research yielded the Citizens' Budget -- a non-partisan,
150-page plan that details a set of 10 reforms that, if implemented,
would close California's $30 billion gap and actually produce
a $6.5 billion surplus. The reforms recommended within the
Citizens' Budget can be applied to state and local
budgets nationwide.

Creating
a Performance-Based Electronic Government
Released October 30,
2002
In May 2002,
a coalition of good government groups launched a research
project to identify the "best practices" in defining
and measuring e-government initiatives. A research team surveyed
CIOs and IT staff from every federal agency to determine how
they design, plan, justify, manage, and measure the success
of their e-government initiatives. This report presents the
findings of that research—providing case studies from various
agencies and articulating a framework for the development
and use of IT performance measures.
