Book excerpt: Plans for US Census Bureau mapping in support of the 1990 decennial census called for a revolution in map production techniques. Automation was the key element for every aspect of the mapping process. Awards for exceptional map design were sacrificed for speed, volume, cost and schedules. Creativity took on new meaning for Census Bureau cartographers in their efforts to accommodate challenging and oftentimes conflicting map design and production requirements. Conceptual automated mapping became virtual automatyed mapping. The timely dissemination of various map types not only supported census taking operations, but also complemented data products resulting from the 1990 census. The open distribution of the information in the TIGER data base and TIGER-derived maps propelled use of geographic information systems and 1990 census statistical data significantly. Freedom from copyright restriction increased user access to rpoducts and the data sets on which they were based, thereby stimulating not only public use, but also private sector development. By concentrating on automating mapping procedures rather than refinements in map design, the use of 1990 census statistics reached greater numbers of data users. Higher quality maps were sacrificed for increased numbers of map types varying by content and format, achieved at reduced cost and time.

This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, 70 percent of the American public supports reforms that would limit the number of terms a state legislator may serve, and the advocacy group U.S. Term Limits promotes this reform at all levels of government. But are advocates correct that term limits ensure citizens dedicated to the common good—rather than self-serving career politicians—run government? Or does the enforced high rate of turnover undermine the legislature’s ability to function? In Implementing Term Limits, Marjorie Sarbaugh-Thompson and Lyke Thompson bring thirteen years of intensive research and 460 interviews to assess changes since Michigan’s implementation of term limits in 1993 and explore their implications. Paying special attention to term limits’ institutional effects, they also consider legislative representation, political accountability, and the role of the bureaucracy and interest groups in state legislatures. Their thorough study suggests that legislators are less accessible to officials and that there is a larger gap between legislators and their voters. Moreover, legislators become much more politically ambitious after term limits and spend more time on political activities. The selection of top chamber leaders is complicated by newcomers’ lack of knowledge about and experience working with the leaders they elect before being sworn in. As a result, term limits in Michigan fail to deliver on many of the “good government” promises that appeal to citizens. Implementing Term Limits makes a unique and valuable contribution to the debate over the best means by which to obtain truly democratic institutions.
