Paperback. Condition: 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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the ongoing issue of City Club members failing to pay their dues. The author delves into the tangential issues surrounding this main topic, describing a temporary employee abuse that involves misuse of temporary appointments. The problem of defining the difference between the roles of elected officials and appointed officials is examined, with an analysis of how that difference relates to issues surrounding patronage. The author proposes a number of solutions to remedy the issue, including a variety of bureaucratic approaches such as creating new reporting requirements, clarifying the duties of each role, and sending carbon copies of temporary employee paperwork to the City Council. The author also advocates for the use of technology to streamline and improve communication and accountability. The ultimate solution proposed, however, is the need for a broader change in the social contract between the city and its employees.
