This Book Offers The First Political Theory Of Special Purpose Jurisdictions, Including 35,000 Special Districts And 13,500 School Districts, Which Constitute The Most Common Form Of Local Government In The United States Today. Collectively, Special Purpose Governments Have More Civilian Employees Than The Federal Government And Spend More Than All City Governments Combined. The Proliferation Of Special Purpose Jurisdictions Has Fundamentally Altered The Nature Of Representation And Taxation In Local Government. Citizens Today Are Commonly Represented By Dozens In Some Cases Hundreds Of Local Officials In Multiple Layers Of Government. As A Result, Political Participation In Local Elections Is Low And Special Interest Groups Associated With Each Function Exert Disproportionate Influence. With Multiple Specialinterest Governments Tapping The Same Tax Base, The Local Tax Base Takes On The Character Of A Commonpool Resource, Leading To Familiar Problems Of Overexploitation. Strong Political Parties Can Often Mitigate The Commonpool Problem By Informally Coordinating The Policies Of Multiple Overlapping Governments.
