CBO: Fiscal Stress Faced by Local Governments

Fiscal Stress Faced by Local Governments, December 9, 2010

  • “This Congressional Budget Office issue brief describes the economic conditions and budgeting practices that can lead to significant budgetary challenges–often termed fiscal stress–at the local level. The brief also reviews the options available to local governments, state governments, and the federal government for addressing such financial difficulty. Last, the brief examines two options that local governments very rarely use: defaulting on their debt or filing for bankruptcy.”
