Chaos and Compromise: The Evolution of the Mississippi Budgeting
Process takes the topic of budgeting and makes it exciting, and not
just for political junkies. Instead of focusing on numbers, this
book looks at the policymakers responsible for the budget. Brian A.
Pugh provides a historical perspective on the decisions and actions
of legislators and governors going back more than a century. Pugh
reviews how Mississippi's budget making evolved and sifts
legislation and litigation as well as those legislators and
governors responsible for developing this process. Pugh explains in
detail the significant actions taken by the legislative, judicial,
and executive branches of government that affected Mississippi's
procedures. Significant legislation covered includes the passage of
Senate Bill 356, which gave the governor the authority to prepare
and submit a budget recommendation in 1918; the passage of the
Administrative Reorganization Act of 1984; the passage of the
Budget Reform Act of 1992; and the passage of the Financial and
Operational Responses That Invigorate Future Years Act (FORTIFY)
during the First Extraordinary Session of 2017. The first two
chapters provide a historical perspective and give the reader an
understanding of how legislation and litigation contributed. The
book also covers interventions by the courts, which led to the
unprecedented separation of powers case Alexander v. State of
Mississippi by and Through Allain (1983). In addition to discussing
important laws and legislators, Pugh takes a detailed look at six
of Mississippi's recent governors - Bill Allain, Ray Mabus, Kirk
Fordice, Ronnie Musgrove, Haley Barbour, and Phil Bryant - to
examine their methods for getting the legislature to include their
ideas in the often anguished process of making a budget.
