This study examines public budgeting experts’ perception on the viability and adoptability of the proposed line-item veto. The study reveals that: (1) the line-item veto is not considered by the experts as the most favored budgetary reform idea from both measurements of viability and adoptability; (2) the experts believe that the line-item veto may not be adopted in the near future even though they agree it is a viable idea; and (3) there are no significant correlations between the experts’ views and their personal characteristics.
