From the Institute of Medicine “It is unreasonable to expect that people will change their behavior easily when so many forces in the social, cultural, and physical environment conspire against such change. ”
Policy & Politics • Policy – rule made and enforced by people in authority to control the behaviors of other people • Politics – the process people in authority use to make policy and decide who gets what, where and when…. . without resorting to physical violence
MT Legislative Policymaking • 90 day session, every other year (odd) • 100 members = House of Representatives – elected to 2 yr terms • 50 members = Senate – elected to 4 yr terms • Interim Committees • Term limits
What About Term Limits? • Institutional memory is diminished • Less time for policymakers to impact • Lobbyists and advocacy groups may have increased opportunities – Trusted lobbyists become very important • Some advice: pay attention to who is running for office
Making Public Policy Decisions Influencers Experience § § Professional Personal Past offices Staff Committees/Issues § How issue impacts constituents § § They are asked to be a champion High profile § § § § Constituents Financial contributors Opinion leaders Media Staff Spouse Personal network § Future political ambitions § Enlightened self-interest § Accurate and compelling information
