What is Forum Friday? In this webinar format, we discuss a timely research topic and invite notable guests and Forum members to join the conversation. While this virtual event series doesn't replace our in-person events, we hope this can be a way to keep you informed and connected on our state's most pressing public policy issues.

Join us April 4 for our virtual event series, Forum Friday! This installment on the state’s 2025-27 budget will feature two former state budget directors with exceptional knowledge about public finance. We’ll review our latest state budget report, then hear our panelists’ insights on how the budget bill could reshape the state. Our guests will also discuss the effects that potential cuts and delays to federal funding could have for local governments, school districts, and programs such as Medicaid.
