<title>Analysis of Local Government Expenditures and Property Tax Growth </title>
<link>http://www.library.gsu.edu/news/index.asp?view=details&amp;ID=14109&amp;typeID=70</link><description><![CDATA[
The Fiscal Research Center (AYSPS), the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, and the Georgia Public Policy Foundation jointly prepared this document. We believe it would be desirable for there to be a set of numbers that we agreed reflect the recent growth in expenditures and property taxes by type of government in Georgia. The objective was to produce a set of numbers for each level or type of government that were developed on a consistent basis across governments and over time, and that reflect actual changes and not differences over time or across types of governments in how the data are reported.

Not all American children are benefiting equally from the American Dream.
