| Version 1 of The Kentucky State Budget Game is complete and was recently
featured in an article in Governing magazine! The game is available right here on
the Web for free, or you may order a copy of the diskettes for $5 to cover material and
mailing costs. Here's a preview of what you're getting . . . |
 |
You have been nominated by your party to be the next governor of
Kentucky. To prepare you for this monumental task, your advisors have assembled a review
of spending and revenues over the past 20 years. |
 |
Click different spending or revenue categories for a variety of charts and text. |
 |
After your briefing, it's time to choose a platform and run for governor. |
 |
Congratulations, you won! (You'll always win) Now you must fulfill your campaign
promises and balance the budget. If you do well enough, you might become the next vice
presidential candidate. If you do poorly, you might get run out of the state. |
 |
Well, now for the big question, How did you do? This sheet records all of the fiscal
decisions you have made, and gives you a political score, based on how much you increased
or decreased spending or taxes. Will your next home be Washington, D.C. or someplace where
the weather's always warm and you're never recognized? |
