As part of Rhode Island’s State Fiscal Analysis Initiative,
Rhode Island KIDS COUNT has prepared these documents to assist those interested in children’s issues to navigate the budgetary process. The Rhode Island Budget Snapshots contain detail information about the enacted budget. To accompany the Snapshots, advocates can also find a breakdown of the budget process, useful tips on how and when to advocate on children’s budgetary issues, and a glossary of terms to clarify the meaning behind key fiscal jargon.

Rhode Island Budget Snapshots:

• Fiscal Year 2009
• Fiscal Year 2008
• Fiscal Year 2007
• Fiscal Year 2006
