Abstract: Striking differences exist between urban and rural trends in revenues, expenditures, and debts of local governments for 1977-82. The biggest difference was the way urban and rural areas reacted to cuts in aid. As real Federal aid declined, big city governments cut real spending and reduced their local revenue raising efforts. Most rural governments increased real spending by increasing their local revenue efforts, resulting in higher fiscal burdens on rural residents.
