Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth examination of Chicago's system of local governance in comparison to that of Los Angeles County in California. The inadequacy of Chicago's fragmented local government is illustrated by the fact there are 187 school districts, 38 separate municipalities, and a plethora of other local government bodies, each operating on their own without regard to the powers of other local governments in their area. This has resulted in huge costs and needless bureaucracy. The book points out that Los Angeles County has recently adopted some of the best features of a 'manager-mayor' plan advocated by the Chicago Bureau of Public Efficiency and advanced by some civic groups as a solution for Chicago. The book will be of interest to anyone curious about the extent of the governance problem in Chicago.
