Appropriations

As a former member of the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee, and Chair of the Spending Affordability Committee, Roger Manno has a depth of experience in building state capital budgets, and and navigating the complexities of operating budget (PAYGO) and capital budget funds in order to build critical strategic infrastructure for clients.  These include securing millions of dollars in direct line items in the governor's Operating Budget and Capital Budget, through amendments in both the Senate and the House versions, the Governor's Supplemental Budget, the Board of Public Works, as well as departmental discretionary funding. Here are a few examples of our success:
