Public Pricing Growing in Rural America

Abstract

Excerpts from the article: Charging for public services is a revenue option that deserves more serious consideration in an era of rapidly escalating prices and budgetary cutbacks. Some local governments have recently reduced services and numbers of employees, but economic events in the eighties may force even larger cutbacks than anticipated. Although local public officials may not be able to avoid cutbacks, public pricing — charging the taxpayer a direct fee for public services rendered — is one revenue source with the potential for growth. What are the advantages and disadvantages of public pricing?
