This project involves selecting a budget and writing a 15-20 page analysis (not including the title page, references, or
appendices). Each member of the team should contribute approximately 5 pages of the final paper.
The purpose of the project is to provide an opportunity for students to analyze a real government budget. Student
teams will select a local government budget (city or county) and perform an analysis using some of the tools and
methods covered in the class. If possible, interview someone connected to the budget process in your selected
jurisdiction. The paper must be prepared in APA format (7th edition). This is a group project and I listed my portions along with helpful links as well below:
