In this assignment, we will be “playing the role” of financial analyst in the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet’s Office of Financial Management. Your work is to make your policy recommendation (based on evidence from your selected article) to the Kentucky Legislature House Standing Committee on Appropriations and Revenue.
The goal is to develop a brief or memorandum that advocates for a policy change, policy update, or otherwise a change in strategy for the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet. Suggested journals include Public Budgeting and Finance, Public Policy Studies, Financial Management, etc. “Current” refers to articles published in refereed journals since the year 2015. Once an article has been identified that meets these criteria, students are directed to write an article brief or memo (2 pages) based on the the article.
- My policy recommendation is to increase investment in infrastructure projects in Kentucky. Given that the current infrastructure is outdated, enhancing it will improve the state’s quality of life, stimulate economic growth, and boost private sector productivity. Bonds should be utilized as a funding source for these initiatives.
- Please use the article uploaded as main reference. the policy memo and also add some other articles that you will find to support my policy recommendation
