The first comprehensive analysis of the design and effects of
tax and expenditure limitations (TELs), "The Control of Municipal
BudgetS"shows how limitation measures have worked and offers
practical guidelines for analyzing and designing such programs
under current economic and political conditions. Looking first at
the characteristics of different types of TELs, Merriman discusses
the various ways in which limitations may be imposed. He next
reviews the history and current status of TELs, beginning with
control efforts imposed more than a century ago, and comments on
the long-range consequences of such measures. He examines
conventional government budgeting models (those not governed by
TELs) and then develops a model for government behavior under a TEL
that will enable decisionmakers and analysts to understand how the
effects of a TEL are related to its design. In an analysis of New
Jersey's Cap Law, the author applies the analytical model to a
concrete instance and presents new evidence on specific effects of
TEL programs.
