Making sense of the "Puzzle" that is Local Government
Last Updated: 11/24/08 4:16 PM
In the immediate future, FAIR will focus on three muncipal governments:
1. The City of Lockport, N.Y.
2. The County of Niagara, in NYS

This should provide a broad spectrum of governments for comparison purposes.
If you have suggestions you can always forward them.

Check here for progress.
