ABSTRACT
Think back to when you were young-very young, like four or five years old. In those days, the only people you viewed as “public policymakers” were your parents or teachers. They were quintessential authority figures with undisputed power. Whatever the issue, you knew that these people would fix the problem; it seemed that they could do almost anything. Whether you were angry with someone for sending you to your room or upset because you did not get your share of school snacks, you knew that there was someone you could go to for help to make things right. In other words, you saw solutions taking place in a simple, “one-stop shopping” policymaking environment.
