Since the early days of the nation, the federal government has collected information on the revenues, expenditures, and other features of state and local jurisdictions and their operations. Today, these data are collected primarily by the Governments Division of the U.S. Census Bureau, which has conducted a census of governments every 5 years since 1957. The division also manages a program of related annual and quarterly surveys, as well as a comprehensive directory of state and local governments. All of this work is now taking place in an environment of constrained resources, and there have been cutbacks in the availability and dissemination of the data. In this context, State and Local Government Statistics at a Crossroads documents the uses of the state and local data and assesses the quality of the data for those uses. This book provides in-depth consideration of the efficiency of the surveys; the user base; and the timeliness, relevance, and quality of the data series. It also provides valuable background information and analysis and offers suggestions for program improvements. This information will be valuable to policy makers, state and local government workers, government contractors, budget analysts, economists, demographers, and others who rely on these data on government at the state and local levels and have a stake in ensuring that limited resources do not compromise the quality of the data on which they rely.

Fiscal Health for Local Governments offers a how-to approach to identifying and solving financial problems. Its principal selling point lies in its assumptions: instead of using the vocabulary and research agendas of economist, finance scholars, and political scientists, it will appeal to readers who lack sophisticated knowledge in these areas and nevertheless need practical advice. The book stems from the Fiscal Health Education Program, an applied economics program at the University of Minnesota. It uses three measures of fiscal health — financial condition, trend analysis, and financial trend monitoring system — as the basis for advocating particular fiscal strategies. The book examines the tools that can be used to assess the condition of a local government's fiscal health and some of the policy causes or remedies for certain situations, as well as some of the strategies governments can pursue to maintain and improve health. It will serve as a primer for readers interested in understanding financial processes and alternatives, and as a practical guide for those who need access to fiscal measurement tools. How-to approach will appeal to readers who lack sophisticated knowledge Contains discussion questions and anonymous case studies of actual cities and municipalities Presents practical methods for identifying and solving common fiscal problems

The financial condition of local governments (villages, towns, townships, cities; fire, water, sewer, school districts; and counties) is of vital concern to all citizens, especially in these difficult financial times. Are you getting the most from your tax dollar? This book provides citizens, groups, and government employees with step-by-step guidance that goes far beyond bond ratings, to assess the short, medium, and long-term financial condition of local government. Written by the author of Local Government Budgeting in Georgia and We Only Pay the Bills (a study of Virginia's state and local debt), this is a must read for anyone concerned with local government financial condition. Whether you are thinking of your family's future, moving your business, or expanding an existing business, the information in this book will allow you to make a rational judgement, devoid of romance and hyperbole. What is 'non-debt debt' and how does it impact taxes? Is my government using one-shot fixes to cover long-term problems that will cost me in the future? This guide provides the methods and public sources of data needed to make an assessment.
