Forecast for Q2 – General Thoughts and Data

This is the perfect time for federal, state and local officials to consider what specific agencies should look like five or ten years from now. It appears that the current trend is toward more government and perhaps more intrusive government (I heard this again today from a financial services professional). I am not so sure this is a viable trend. It may be a reactive and curative/preventive action that might not endure at its present level. What will endure is the public’s interest in fairness, truth, and services. The key is to pay attention, be ready to act, and understand long-term consequences.
