Omschrijving
Author J. Edwin Benton presents a comprehensive overview of the revenue structure for local governments, in general, and for counties, municipalities, townships, special districts, and school districts, in particular.
"Revenue Sources of Local Governments is a timely and important treatise on the oft-overlooked revenue side of local government ledgers. J. Edwin Benton's discussion and analysis of the various resources available to local governments, as well as those proscribed to them, enhance our understanding of budgeting and provide insight into what might be considered by elected and appointed city officials. A must read."
Michael A. Pagano, Dean Emeritus, College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, Professor Emeritus of Public Policy, Management, and Analytics, University of Illinois Chicago, USA
"J. Edwin Benton’s study of local government revenue sources provides an extensive analysis of the complex world of taxation, fees, intergovernmental transfers, and borrowed funds. Through engaging description and meticulous evaluation of various revenue streams, this volume builds a solid foundation for scholars and students alike."
Ann O’M. Bowman, Professor and Hazel Davis and Robert Kennedy Endowed Chair, George Bush School of Government and Public Service, Texas A&M University, USA
"Local governments have experienced fluctuations in their financial stability in recent years, often due to changes in their revenue streams. Revenue Sources of Local Governments helps the reader understand the fundamentals of these streams while also providing guidance on opportunities for revenue improvements. This book will be useful to practitioners and students in the classroom, and it is certain to be a classic in the field."
