How are state and local finances intertwined? How are services to local counties, cities and special districts financed? 

On our new Issue page, State and Local Finances, learn about the policies that govern taxes, revenue, and services to local communities that affect all Californians. Materials and resources on the State and Local Finance Issue page will give you the background information you need to participate in the statewide discussions about how these fiscal relationships can be revised to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the programs and services they provide to local communities.
