Management in Cities and Counties
About this Webinar:
Local governments are watching their citizens experience a crisis not seen in this generation. Houses are
being foreclosed, millions are losing their jobs and all are looking to the government for assistance. How to
do more with less is the central theme in most cities and counties across the United States. Municipalities are
facing budgets with dwindling revenues and rising costs, making it harder to deliver services to taxpayers.
With the passage of the economic stimulus bill, cities and counties are expected to receive federal money, but
