[ABFM] ABFM Teaching Database Project

[Doug Morgan]

I will ask my Ph.D. assistant, David Jarvis, to provide you with 
electronic assess to copies of the latest materials we are upgrading for 
a handbook  on public budgeting. While the handbook will be copyright 
protected by our publisher, at the moment we are planning to keep the 
exercises and data bank on a public  website.  This a project originally 
prepared for the Oregon State Fiscal Officers Association to teach them 
the basics of public budgeting, but over the years we have transformed 
it into "hands-on" budget course for those interested especially in 
local government budgeting.  You can access the Handbook at: 
http://eli.pdx.edu/erc/morgan/  David Jarvis can provide you access to 
the updated exercise and data file or let you know when the materials 
will be updated for your use.
