Public Assets Institute's mission is to conduct research, perform fiscal analysis, disseminate information, and develop policies that apply the powers of government to improving the wellbeing of ordinary citizens, especially the most vulnerable. Public Assets Institute provides journalists, advocates, government officials, and ordinary citizens with sound, timely, and understandable analyses of state budgets and taxes, and of the fiscal implications of public policy options. Our work products inform state fiscal and budget policy debates and contribute to sound decisions that improve the well-being of individuals, communities and the state as a whole.
