Public Budgeting and Finance v. 38, n. 2, Summer 2018, p. 3-22Summary: The scholarly literature provides little evidence that the line-item veto is used effectively by governors in the U.S. states to reduce budget totals or shrink the size of government. By examining the actions of five governors in four states, this study reveals that item vetoes have been used explicitly in several cases to maintain higher levels of taxation and spending. It concludes that under the right conditions at key moments in time the line item veto can be used by governors to have a decisive impact
on state budget outcomes.
