Budgeting for Local Governments and Communities

<i> <p>Budgeting for Local Governments and Communities</i> is designed as the primary textbook for a quarter or semester-long course in public budgeting and finance in an MPA program. <p/>Many currently available texts for this course suffer from a combination of defects that include a focus on federal and state budgeting a lack of a theoretical governance framework an omission of important topics and typically a lack of exercises and datasets for student use. <i>Budgeting for Local Governments and Communities</i> solves all of these problems. <p/>The book is exceptionally comprehensive and well written and represents the efforts of veteran authors with both teaching and real-world experience.<br></p>
