Description

In recent decades, local governments across America have increasingly turned specialized functions over to autonomous agencies ranging in scope from subdivision-sized water districts to multi-state transit authorities.

This book is the first comprehensive examination of the causes and consequences of special-purpose governments in more than 300 metropolitan areas in the United States.

It presents new evidence on the economic, political, and social implications of relying on these special districts while offering important findings about their use and significance.
