93 (4) Pursuant to the schedule established in subsection (2),
94 OPPAGA shall evaluate each program over the previous 3 years for
95 its effectiveness and value to the taxpayers of this state and

97 Legislature. The analysis may include relevant economic
98 development reports or analyses prepared by the Department of

103 OPPAGA must be given access to all data necessary to complete
104 the Economic Development Programs Evaluation, including any
