GLOSSARY

“One of the most important aspects of governmental advocacy is knowledge and understanding of the terminology used in the legislative, budget and regulatory processes. If you’re not immediately conversant with these tems, you put yourself at a distinct disadvantage. Or, as I say in my seminars, you may as well paint a big target on your back.” — Ray LeBov

Two of the best online resources for understanding the terminology:

1. The League of California Cities publishes “Talking the Talk: A Glossary.” Includes an index of glossary terms. Find it on pages 12-17 of this document:http://www.seismic.ca.gov/pub/Navigating_the_Legislative_Process.pdf

2. The Legislative Counsel of California publishes an even more extensive glossary.
