LEAGUE PROVIDES MUNICIPAL FINANCIAL HEALTH DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

摘要

California's economy is improving, even in the Central Valley and inland areas where the recovery has been slowest, and local revenues are picking up. But fiscal challenges remain, especially in the area of escalating costs. More cities are heading into financial peril. The better city officials can see these problems coming and understand where they are coming from, the better they will be able to manage them and avoid financial distress. "What you don't know can hurt you," says League Past President Ron Bates. "And what you try to ignore will likely only get worse and more difficult to deal with."
