Title: The State of American Federalism, 1997 - 1998
Abstract: Although it was a relatively quiet year for the courts and congressional action, 1997–1998 saw several developments that may significantly define federalism in the coming years. The 1998 federal budget is projected to show a surplus, ending decades of deficit financingin Washington, D.C., but also raising questions about the budget's fiscal impact on federalism and intergovernmental relations. Devolution took a back seat in Washington, D.C., as concerns about managed care, education, and internet access led to proposals for increased federal involvement in state and local affairs. The states continued their implementation of welfare reform and launched other programs in health, environment.
