Beskrivning

Examines the structure and progress of local government in Massachusetts. The author shows that contrary to a prevailing sentiment that Massachusetts local government is archaic and outmoded, considerable progress has been made in an incremental fashion. This progress is reflected in modernized local government structures and in a new mood supportive of professionalism in the ranks. An interesting volume for courses on state and local government, particularly Massachusetts.
