Due to state and federally mandated programs, local governments are increasingly resorting to innovative and alternative means of performing their functions because taxpayers are becoming more resistant to tax increases. Certain conditions need to exist for governmental innovation to be possible. This work explores these situations, using case studies in local government to discuss in detail innovative programs in risk management, zoning, stormwater management, public safety, housing, and governmental format.
DOUGLAS J. WATSON is City Manager of Auburn, Alabama, and Visiting Associate Professor at Auburn University. Dr. Watson has been active in local government, and is the author of Politics of Redistributing Urban Aid (Praeger, 1994) and The New Civil War: Government Competition for Economic Development (Praeger, 1995).
