About the Book

Leave it to editor Kevin Smith to assemble a superb collection of compelling readings from such publications as Governing, State Legislatures, Stateline.org, State and Local Government Review, and Capitol Ideas. Year after year, these highly readable and up-to-date articles hit all the crucial marks for your state and local course. Nearly 40 new articles cover the significant issues facing state and local government, from budgetary constraints and the impact of Supreme Court decisions to redistricting and blast-from-the-past governors back in office. With the context and currency you have come to expect as hallmarks of this reader, the 2012–2013 edition will bring timely and sharp analysis into your state and local government classroom.
