Abstract
An opportunity exists to offer Extension programming on public policy issues for policymakers. In fact, to the extent such programming contributes to a perception of Extension's effectiveness, it may be the best way to ensure our future. Educational programs on tax and spending issues in Nebraska have been well received by members of the state legislature and county commissioners. Factors contributing to success have been objective use of tax and spending data; acknowledgement of community and individual values; and assistance in organizing budget advisory groups to plan for the future.
