Parkinson's Elevated
As Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses, relatively mild symptoms advance to a major disorder that affects every organ system in the body. Current care for people with PD (PwP) reacts to rising disability. There is a missed opportunity to keep PwP as healthy as possible. In this perspective, we spell out our vision for a proactive, value-based health care model built around a patient-centered integrated practice unit (IPU) for PD. The IPU will pro…
Term Limits and Legislative‐Executive Conflict in the American States
State governments have experienced considerable institutional change in the last several decades. None appeared at first glance to be as far‐reaching as the legislative term limits that were adopted by over 20 states in the 1990s. The evidence to date suggests that term limits have indeed changed the character of many of the states' legislatures, if not always as predicted by their advocates. We report data on veto dynamics over the period 1989–2…
The Plot That Failed
The Republican capture of the U.S. Congress following the 1994 midterm elections provides a unique opportunity to examine congressional control of the bureaucracy. Under the leadership of House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-TX), Republicans waged an all-out assault on regulation reminiscent of the Reagan years. Toward that end, House leaders relied on a mix of control mechanisms including budget cuts and a variety of deck stacking strategies. While …

Legislative Life in the 1990s
Although the number of black state legislators has increased dramatically in the last several decades, there is relatively little known about these important officeholders and how they compare to their white colleagues. Through a nationwide survey conducted in 1991-92, we gain some information on these legislators. The results depict some similarities among black and white legislators in terms of background characteristics and public policy conce…
Accounting for the Quality of Black Legislative Life
Theory: Differences in the experiences of and perceptions among African-American state legislators on the quality of black legislative life are the result of individual and contextual factors. Hypotheses: The quality of black legislative life will be greater among males, more senior members and those who serve in key leadership positions. Contextually, black perceptions of how blacks and black interests fare in state legislatures will be more pos…
Regulating in Space and Time
We outline and test an empirical model of federal regulatory behavior that reflects the spatial (i.e., interstate) and temporal dimensions of regulation within a federal system. A pooled time-series design is used to examine the interplay of national and subnational influences on the oversight decisions of officials at the U.S. Office of Surface Mining (OSM, Department of the Interior) during the period 1985-1989. The analysis indicates that the …
From Coercion to Partnership in Federal Partial Preemption
This article examines the experiences of three important partial-preemption programs—the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA)—over the last two decades to improve our understanding of how federal-state interactions have shaped the regulatory partnership. The evidence we gather suggests that the control of …
Devolving Regulatory Authority
One of the major legacies of the Reagan administration was its devolution of regulatory authority to the states, particularly in the area of environmental protection. The article descr&es how federal officials at EPA and the OfFce of Surface Mining (Department of the Interior) transferred regulatory responsibility to the states and how state officials initially responded to devolution. In a number of states, regulatory officials clwse to vigorous…
The Principal-Agent Model and Regulatory Federalism
The States and Deregulation
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA), passed to correct the abuses of surface mining, assigned key implementation roles to the states. While the federal government originally enforced SMCRA, states could operate the program themselves. Once states decided to run their own program the federal government would oversee them to insure they properly enforce the Act. This research examines the enforcement behavior of states in…

Loosening the Regulatory Ratchet
Women and Public Service Employment
As more and more women attempt to enter the private labor market and, more particularly, find themselves without employment, information on how women fare in various governmental job programs becomes especially important. Our analysis of CETA programming in Milwaukee indicates that women, especially blacks, often experienced greater need but less placement activity on their behalf, and received lower quality employment than did their male counter…

Fiscal Dependency and the State Budget Process
The analysis reported here looks at the impact that dependency on federal aid has on the politics of the state budget process. With data obtained for 58 West Virginia state agencies, the findings indicate that dependent agencies are more assertive in seeking state funds, enjoy greater gubernatorial support for their requests, and are somewhat more likely to get what they want from the state legislature. Those findings, in turn, suggest an alterna…
