Peer reviewedJohnson, Paul L. – Evaluation Practice, 1992
Interviews with state legislators from Wisconsin (D. Bezruki), Massachusetts (T. P. Kennedy), and Virginia (P.

The influence of evaluation data appears largely specific to individual programs rather than systematically applied to the budgeting process. (SLD)
