Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Municipal Administration Municipal government is so large and so complicated a subject that when one is asked to speak on the broad general topic, it is no easy matter to decide what aspect to discuss. There are the exciting and dramatic events of municipal politics in particular cities there are the difficult legal problems of municipal organization and the relation of cities to the state government; and there are a long series of special subjects connected with the everyday work of municipal officials. Instead of considering any of these subjects, how ever, I shall attempt here simply to emphasize the general importance of municipal government by a brief sketch of the development of cities and their functions, with some reference to the defects of American municipal management and means of improving the situation.

Download or read book The Future of Cities written by David Schaefer and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1996 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Worcester Municipal Research Bureau, a private, non-profit organization which conducts independent, non-partisan research on issues facing Worcester's municipal government. In this book are lectures from the 'Future of Cities' series (winter and spring 1995) sponsored by the Worcester Municipal Research Bureau. This series examines the proper functions of local government and explores how these functions can be carried out efficiently and responsibly. The essays focus on the shift of power from the federal and state governments back to the local level. Attention is given to the main ideas behind this emerging trend, including promoting accountability and 're-empowering' the local citizenry. Each speech addresses a different aspect of the prospects and problems of urban life during the next decade. Speakers include Professor Marc Landy (Boston College Political Science Department) and John Fund (editorial writer at the Wall Street Journal). Discussants include (all political scientists): Professor Daniel Mahoney (Assumption College); Professor David Schaefer (Holy Cross College); Professor Dennis Hale (Boston College); and Professor Hadley Arkes (Amherst College). The essays in this book will appeal to students and scholars of political science, federalism, and local government. Anyone interested in the future of our government and its effects on us as citizens, will surely want a copy of this thoughtful and penetrating set of essays.
Download or read book Politics and Government written by Neil L. Shumsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 3 "POLITICS and GOVERNMENT’ of the American Cities; series. This collection brings together more than 200 scholarly articles pertaining to the history and development of urban life in the United States during the past two centuries. The articles about municipal government contained in the third volume include discussions of how rapid urbanization in the early nineteenth century produced a chain reaction, creating first the need for new political institutions, then the rise of machine politics, and, finally, reform movements that designed, advocated, and implemented new institutional structures such as the commission and city manager forms of government. Volume 3 also includes articles that consider the nature of intergovernmental relations at the end of the twentieth century and the connections between the governments of cities and the governments of the regions surrounding them—localities, states, and the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first chapter I explore property tax limits in Massachusetts. Since the 1870s, 46 states have placed limits on the ability of local governments to collect property taxes. It is unclear whether these policies prevent excessive spending or constrain efficient investment in public goods and services. Using referendum data from Massachusetts, I find that easing property tax limits leads to an increase in educational spending and government salaries, and a decrease in pension underfunding. Using municipal bond spreads and house prices as a proxy for the efficiency of increased municipal investment, I find that property tax limits inefficiently constrain local governments in Massachusetts. Easing these constraints leads to a 10-bps reduction in bond spreads and a 3% increase in house prices. The effects are stronger when tax referendums are large, and when the resulting revenue is used for education. In the second chapter I explore the long term causes and consequences of property tax reform throughout the United States. I find that increases in real estate value are associated with a higher probability of property tax reform. I find that following reforms, local revenues fall, the state share of education spending increases, and state income taxes increase, while total state and local taxes remain the same. I identify potential winners and losers from property tax reform. I find that ex-ante low-income and low education spending counties benefit while high-income and high education spending counties are worse off. I find no evidence that state governments are more or less efficient at service provision than local governments. In the third chapter (joint with Fiona Paine), we investigate the impact of cybersecurity risk and cyber attacks on municipal finances. Cyber attacks are estimated to cost billions of dollars per year. We use a dataset of municipal ransomware attacks merged with hand collected IT investment data and municipal bond data. Following a ransomware attack, municipal bond yields fall by 10 bps and IT investment as a share of total town expenditure increases by 0.23%. We investigate potential channels leading to decreased yields post hacking. We find evidence that being hacked reduces cyber risk by disciplining municipalities to move closer to the optimal level of IT spending.
