Although public administration has contributed to the study and reform of
public budgeting systems, little attention has been devoted to the role of
the legislature in the budgetary process. Neglect and criticism of the
legislature is attributable to public administration's intellectual content and
value preferences. Virtually all reforms which have attempted to increase
public administrative values in legislative budgetary formulation have been
abandoned. Alternative strategies for enhanced legislative budgetary power
are based on different value preferences: division of labor rather than
centralization; selective retrospective evaluation and oversight rather than
comprehensive policy formulation; and economic and political costs and
benefits instead of pure economic analysis .
