Answer to Question 1

An ideal response would be:
The budget process is similar in most states. In May and June, the governor's budget office sends request forms to the various executive agencies. From July to October, the agencies complete their detailed requests and send them back for consideration. Their requests are typically higher than the governor's proposed guidelines. The governor's budget chief evaluates all requests, sometimes holds internal administrative hearings, and then makes recommendations to the governor. Finally, the governor presents the recommendations to the legislature at the beginning of the New Year. Governors frequently use their annual State of the State Address to present these recommendations and continue to promote them during speeches given throughout the budget process.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
An initiative is a procedure whereby a certain number of voters may, by petition, propose a law or constitutional amendment and have it submitted to the voters. Florida and Idaho allow it.
