Deloitte’s 2010 Industry Outlook – U.S. State Government: “State governments will face a number of significant and continuing challenges in 2010. From budget deficits to runaway Medicaid costs to infrastructure challenges, the new year is shaping up to be perhaps one of the most difficult in recent history. But there is some light at the end of the tunnel. 2010 is a significant election year, with 36 states and two territories holding elections – the greatest number in decades. This gubernatorial turnover will invariably bring new agendas representing change, and change creates opportunities. Deloitte’s 2010 Industry Outlook for State Government looks ahead at the coming year and the most significant changes and opportunities state governments are likely to face.”
