Use the GFOA Distinguished Budget Award Criteria attached as your reference for this project. Then evaluate each criterion based on the local government you selected to review.
The grading for this paper is based on your ability (1) to correctly analyze the budget document, and (2) to include relevant literature from the class reading list to persuade the reader that the criteria in the evaluation are important for good budgeting. Do not write to fill pages, but write for effect. Your grade is inversely proportional to how long it takes me to read and understand your paper!
NOTE: You should make notes on each of the criteria so when you start writing the paper you can refer back to your notes to justify why you evaluated the criteria in a particular manner. This will also help you identify potential areas that need further review.
