Description
Introduction and Literature Review This study addresses a simple research question: How involved are citizens in the county budget process in the state of Georgia? It also addresses some secondary research questions: To what degree are citizens involved in the county governmental process in general? How has the Taxpayers Bill of Rights affected citizen involvement in the county budget process in Georgia? How involved should citizens be in that governmental process? Do budget professionals desire more or less citizen involvement in the county budget process? How do citizens participate in that governmental process, and what, specifically, can be done to increase their involvement? In order to measure the level of citizen involvement in the county budget process in Georgia, the authors of this study surveyed budget and finance directors in all 159 counties in the state because they are the most qualified to comment upon the level of citizen involvement in the budget process, the effect of their involvement on the budget process, the various methods of citizen participation in that governmental process, and whether or not increased citizen involvement in that aspect of local government is even desirable.
