Chapter 10

Step 1: Describing the Policy to be Implemented

•Be sure it is a policy and not a goal• Is it a federal, state or local policy?•Determine if it is a legislative, administrative or money

•Cannot be a judicial decision

Step 2: Identify Players• Government Units in the United States:

3,000 Counties19,000 municipalities

+ 43,000 special districts65,000 total government units

How To Select Players • Ask players, experts, and stakeholders.• Legislatures: They affect how a bill becomes a law at your geographic area

• Aggregation problems with legislative bodies • If not legislative, must be administrative • Interest groups can be important especially for new policies

• Watch out for dogs

New York State •Divided into three branches: Executive, Legislative, Judicial

•Governor Cuomo is the head of the Executive Branch.

•State Agencies like the New York Department of Education are under the Executive Branch

Onondaga County •County government is responsible for implementing and funding legislation enacted by the state and federal government

•Different departments help to administrate the different duties of the county

•Examples: Medicaid, Van Duyn Home and Hospital

Legislative Branch•New York has a bi-cameral or two house legislature.

•Which state is not bi-cameral?•Assembly is a 150 member body •Senate is a 62 member body

Executive Branch•Governor Cuomo appoints the heads of the different state agencies

•State agencies help put legislation into effect

•Don’t use the President or a Governor except for RARE cases

•Do research to figure it out!

Step 3:Estimating Issue Position•Empirical - quotes•Deductive Principles

• Special Interest Players (3-5)• Politicians, Legislative Bodies, Government Officials (0-2)

• Budget cost predispose toward opposition

Step 4: Estimating Power• Specific to Issues• Players with Veto Power: 4 or 5

• Legislatures• President, Governors, Mayors, etc.

• Non-veto-players: 3, 2, or 1• Sources of Power

• Official Position• Money• Numbers (voters)• Expertise

Step 5: Estimating Priority•Single issue player: high on relevant issue

•Multiple issue player: low to moderate on most issues

•Changes quickly in either direction•Frequency of statements are key

Step 6: Calculating 1. Calculation 1: Issue position X Power X

Priority=Prince Score• When Issue Position is 0, Power X Priority=(Prince Score)• Prince Scores in parenthesis are neutral scores

2. Calculation 2: Sum of all positive scores plus ½ of neutral scores

3. Calculation 3: Sum of all possible scores ignoring signs and parenthesis

4. Calculation 2/Calculation 3=Probability of Support

Don’t Be Hopelessly Naïve •No matter how much you love your policy proposal, your forecast from the Prince System should be under 50%
