Putting Your Local Government on a $ Diet

About the Book

Local governments have grown obese. There is no longer enough money to maintain their weight.

Putting Your Local Government on a $ Diet is a practical guidebook that describes numerous ways and provides specific examples of how services can be maintained and enhanced at reduced cost.

There has never been a better time to produce such a work for elected officials, public managers, professors, students and beleaguered taxpayers who are determined to make local government operate much more efficiently.
