About this ebook
Managing Local Government: Cases in Effectiveness: Achieving Effective Community Leadership: The Fire File focuses on the challenges associated with an initiative by the city’s voters, which has precipitated a serious budget crisis, forcing the city government’s officials to consider major changes in the way it serves (or discontinues serving) its citizens. This e-book is based on Scott D. Lazenby's novel, Playing with Fire (New York: Writers Club Press, 2001).
