Descripción
The composition of revenues in general purpose
local governments in the Northeast in 1977
is examined and compared with the pattern found
in 1957. The oomposition of local government
revenues varies between types of local governments
and between states . In general, local governments in the New England states are most dependent
on property taxes. This pattern has not
changed greatly since 1957 despite increases in
the importance of intergovernmental aid. Revenue
composition in many states in the northeast diverges
considerably from the nationwide pattern.
Changing attitudes towards government and taxes
could result in substantial changes in the years
ahead.
