Gubernatorial Use of the Item Veto for Narrative Deletion
Legislative use of narrative, such as conditions and riders, in appropriations bills has become common and has had negative consequences for the executive budget and veto, as well as for the legislative process. Some governors have used the item veto as a remedy. While they have not necessarily diminished the amount of narrative, they have achieved some protection of the executive budget and veto power. Their success depends greatly on the type o…

Perceptions of the Impact of Governors and Legislatures in the State Appropriations Process
ing the appropriations process while legislatures are characterized as less influential (Anton 1966: 34-5; Sharkansky 1968: 1231; and Howard 1973: 318). The introduction of the executive budget early in this century gave most governors the capacity to direct and control state financial matters (Schick 1971: 18). Although governors still dominate the appropriations process in many states, Rosenthal (1981: 206) believes that legislatures come to th…
Interest Group Influence in City Policy-Making
T _ HERE IS conflicting evidence regarding the degree of influence which interest groups exert on the formulation and implementation of public policies in American cities. The proximity of councilpersons to their constitutents is said (Morlan and Hardy 1968) to make them more responsive to interest groups than legislators at any other level of government. Yet, institutional features of the municipal reform movement are believed (Clark 1971; Grime…
The Line-Item Veto in the States
Ronald Reagan has proposed that the president be given the power to line-item veto appropriation bills in order to reduce the deficit and to discourage wasteful spending.' Throughout his administration, President Reagan has been thwarted by Congress in his attempt to eliminate certain established programs from the federal budget. He has also had to accept appropriation bills containing both items he desired and pork barrel items desired by member…
Interest Group Influence in City Policy-Making
Federal and State Impact on Local Governments
On the basis of a survey of 665 city and county chief executives in eight states, the authors examine the perceived impact of state and federal institutions on local government. The state legislature is the institution most often cited for its influence, and the institutions at the state level are generally perceived as more influential than those at the federal level. Centralization of state-local relations is found to be correlated negatively w…
The Governor as Chief Administrator
In recent years most states have strengthened the formal powers of governors, especially budgetary and appointment powers, in an effort to increase gubernatorial control over agencies of the executive branch. It is not entirely clear, however, how successful governors have been in using these powers to gain control over the administrative agencies of their states. Because of the short tenure of most governors and the difficulty they often encount…
