Because the evidence - the facts - and the fiscal studies carried out by national and international experts and 'think tanks' show the opposite.

"It's bad, but it's not bad enough to make things change," said Donald J. Boyd, the director of fiscal studies at the Rockefeller Institute.

"Millions of taxpayers who normally receive refunds will now wind up owing the state money," said Abraham Lackman, the Senate's director of fiscal studies.

The conference's fiscal study was based on complete budget information from 38 states and tax information from 46 states.

He went to work in 1979 as an analyst for the Senate Finance Committee, and he was named director of fiscal studies in 1984.

Steven D. Gold, director of fiscal studies for the conference, said that trends in state spending in the 1980's showed large increases in prisons and Medicaid.

From 1985 to 1990, he was director of the conference's fiscal studies.
