Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much has been written about how state legislative audit-evaluation studies should be and are conducted, little has been written about what the actual published reports contain, and why the findings and recommendations in the reports are used or ignored. The first section of the volume focuses on seventeen state legislative audit-evaluation agencies and their work. Included is a review of 288 reports published by the agencies that focuses on the topics covered, report formats, amount of staff effort, data gathering techniques, recommendations made, and written responses from executive branch officials. The second part of the book addresses the issue of impact and implementation -- the "so what?" question. Staff members from audit-evaluation agencies in Hawaii, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, New York, South Carolina, and Tennessee each describe the conduct and impact of their "most implemented" and "least implemented" reports. The editor then reviews and summarizes the factors which promote or impede the utilization of report findings and recommendations. The attitude of executive branch officials, press coverage, nature of findings and recommendations, report timing, interest of the legislature, choice of the subjects reviewed, and legislator approval of the topics are judged to be the most important factors.
Download or read book Legislative Effectiveness in the United States Congress written by Craig Volden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores why some members of Congress are more effective than others at navigating the legislative process and what this means for how Congress is organized and what policies it produces. Craig Volden and Alan E. Wiseman develop a new metric of individual legislator effectiveness (the Legislative Effectiveness Score) that will be of interest to scholars, voters, and politicians alike. They use these scores to study party influence in Congress, the successes or failures of women and African Americans in Congress, policy gridlock, and the specific strategies that lawmakers employ to advance their agendas.

Download or read book The Impression of Influence written by Justin Grimmer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constituents often fail to hold their representatives accountable for federal spending decisions—even though those very choices have a pervasive influence on American life. Why does this happen? Breaking new ground in the study of representation, The Impression of Influence demonstrates how legislators skillfully inform constituents with strategic communication and how this facilitates or undermines accountability. Using a massive collection of Congressional texts and innovative experiments and methods, the book shows how legislators create an impression of influence through credit claiming messages. Anticipating constituents' reactions, legislators claim credit for programs that elicit a positive response, making constituents believe their legislator is effectively representing their district. This spurs legislators to create and defend projects popular with their constituents. Yet legislators claim credit for much more—they announce projects long before they begin, deceptively imply they deserve credit for expenditures they had little role in securing, and boast about minuscule projects. Unfortunately, legislators get away with seeking credit broadly because constituents evaluate the actions that are reported, rather than the size of the expenditures. The Impression of Influence raises critical questions about how citizens hold their political representatives accountable and when deception is allowable in a democracy.
