While the federal government wants to reassign responsibilities to local governments, voters want greater efficiency and lower taxes via privatization. This edited collection considers these pressures, the responses from state and local governments, and specific experiments in privatizing local services. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book's opening chapter presents an overview of the changing landscape, while the following chapters consider possibilities in both education and highway services.
