AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Lucy Dadayan, a principal research associate with the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center at the Urban Institute, offers these standard belt-tightening measures:
- Hiring freezes/not filling vacant positions, suspending or reducing pay increases, furloughs and layoffs.
- Delaying or canceling infrastructure
upgrades.
- Across-the-board or targeted spending
cuts in both non-essential and sometimes critical services.
- Selling surplus assets or utilizing
government-owned real estate for revenue generation.
- Redirecting already-obligated funds to
ensure that legally committed projects can proceed.
