To Tax, What to Tax, Who to Tax - Presentation (Extra Credit)

You have studied the budget, witness the budget process, and participated in a Mock Budget Hearing.  But how do we pay for it all?  In this presentation we will discuss state revenue through taxation, with a particular emphasis on fair taxation and effective taxation.   

How to Recognize a Statistically Lie - Workshop (No Extra Credit)

Many people trust numbers as if they are facts; many people do not understand and avoid numbers like the plague (e.g., let's see how many people sign-up for this workshop); and many people are bamboozeled by those who do understand numbers oh too well.   Don't fall victim, learn how to recognize numerical and statistical inexactitudes.
