Book excerpt: This study describes the history and the current operation of the federal grant system and suggests model provisions for legislation authorizing block grants. It also describes the political consequences of the Reagan proposals, particularly the challenge these proposals present to special interest groups and to congressional working arrangements and relationships. The concluding chapter presents a framework for a broader revision of responsibilities. The federal government would assume policy and financial responsibility for the welfare system and for the provision of national health insurance. At the same time, it would transfer to state and local governments programs such as education, transportation, community and economic development, social services, law enforcement, and the environment.

Book excerpt: Each year, the federal government provides billions of dollars to state and local jurisdictions to fund a wide variety of public policies. According to some estimates, grants-in-aid account for almost one third of total state funding. While the programs funded by these grants address very real needs, the grants themselves are structured to ensure that federal policy is followed to a greater or lesser extent. Despite the often-heard call for smaller government, this influence has largely been accepted by American society, and is expected in some cases. Scholars have studied intergovernmental influence from a variety of perspectives, including policy diffusion. The bulk of this research has focused on the state-to-state adoption process, and has identified a variety of contributing factors. While the study of local policy diffusion has occurred, this has typically focused on identifying individual factors, and not on an examination of the broad range of possibilities. This study proposes to scrutinize how a variety of factors contribute to policy diffusion for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program with the goal of shedding light on the local process in Texas. In addition, the study will also analyze if the policy influence behind the grant continues as part of the community decision making process after the money has been spent and the projects completed. There are three generally accepted forms of federal grants-in-aid; categorical grants, block grants, and revenue sharing. Scholars have identified a variety of advantages and disadvantages associated with each form. Block grants are thought to carry fewer restrictions, promote innovation, and have a moderate influence on policy. It seems reasonable to expect that because they use fiscal incentives, the policy influence from block grants may decline rapidly after the award is complete. In fact, Congress tends to modify block grants and gradually transform them into more restrictive categorical grants, which establishes more control but decreases their ability to encourage innovation. However, if policy influence continues after the grant is completed, then restricting block grants may not be as necessary to meet national goals. This could be an incentive for Congress to emphasize the more innovative aspects of these grants instead of restricting them as they mature. The EECBG offers an opportunity to not only better understand the reasons Texas municipalities use the grant, but to discover if the policy behind the award has influence after the program is complete.

Download or read book American Government 3e written by Glen Krutz and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black & white print. American Government 3e aligns with the topics and objectives of many government courses. Faculty involved in the project have endeavored to make government workings, issues, debates, and impacts meaningful and memorable to students while maintaining the conceptual coverage and rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundamental principles of institutional design at the founding, to avenues of political participation, to thorough coverage of the political structures that constitute American government. The book builds upon what students have already learned and emphasizes connections between topics as well as between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses, future careers, and as engaged citizens. In order to help students understand the ways that government, society, and individuals interconnect, the revision includes more examples and details regarding the lived experiences of diverse groups and communities within the United States. The authors and reviewers sought to strike a balance between confronting the negative and harmful elements of American government, history, and current events, while demonstrating progress in overcoming them. In doing so, the approach seeks to provide instructors with ample opportunities to open discussions, extend and update concepts, and drive deeper engagement.
