| The fiscal affairs committee provides a forum and network for chairs and members of the West’s finance and appropriation committees to exchange ideas and experiences on issues affecting state budgets and the region. The committee’s scope of interest addresses critical areas of revenue and taxation policy as well as policies and practices that western states have used in their budget processes to cope with severe contraction in revenues. Fiscal issues associated with cyclical instability of state revenues, performance-based budgeting, e-commerce and comparisons of individual state, regional and national fiscal data and trends are among the variety of issues before this committee. |
