Local Government E Disclosure & Comparisons

Proposes an information system to counterbalance the social complexity represented by local governments and their myriad subordinate units. Under this book's plan, an e-disclosure regimen populates a federated system of state-based electronic repositories, creating a nationwide data warehouse. In Local Government e -Disclosure & Comparisons, author Tim Turner proposes an information system to counterbalance the social complexity represented by over 87,000 local governments and their myriad subordinate units. Turner focuses on three critical choices: whether web-posted data will sufficiently disclose information to interested stakeholders, whether standards will be uniform across state lines, and whether disclosure systems will be integrated nationally. Under his plan, an e-disclosure regimen will populate a federated system of state-based electronic repositories, creating a nationwide data warehouse.
