This is a "best practices" reference handbook on budgeting processes, revenue generating options, and financial management services used by municipal governments in the United States. Fifty-six
chapters present case studies of state-of-the-art practices in public budgeting, revenues, and financial management, with the majority of the contributions focused on balancing budgets and the
trade-offs between maintaining public services and avoiding tax increases. Appendices provide additional information on available online information. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland,
