UW economist testifies before state Senate

UW economist Dick Startz testified before the Senate Ways & Means Committee as part of a panel on “The Great Recession and the Future of Washington’s Economy.” Startz advised that the two best ways of minimizing the effect of recessions on the state budget are: (1) put aside enough money in the good times to prevent dramatic budget swings in bad times and (2) invest in education.
