The Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program And Rural Development: A Description Of Awards Granted In Nebraska During Fiscal Years 1993-2004, Jerry Deichert
Archived Publications
This Nebraska Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) research project originally focused on how the policy helps the state meet its rural development objectives. However, recent statements by the Bush Administration regarding the federal program including a proposal to revise its delivery dramatically have added importance to this research. On February 3, 2005, the Bush Administration proposed the consolidation of several federal programs providing financial resources for community and economic development. The plan would shift administration from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Problems cited by the White House on the current federal …

The State Of American Federalism, 2004: Is Federalism Still A Core Value?, Dale Krane, Heidi Koenig
Public Administration Faculty Publications
Federalism as a political issue was conspicuously absent from the 2004 presidential contest. Unlike many previous campaigns, neither party’s candidate made much mention of problems besetting states and localities.

Federal-state feuds were common in several policy areas, including education, environmental protection, and health care. State finances received a revenue boost as economic growth picked up, but rising costs for Medicaid, education, employee pensions, and prisons clouded states’ financial forecasts. The U.S. Supreme …

Recent studies indicate that e-government initiatives have not held their promise of improving government services. The majority of efforts to benchmark e-government have had central government as the unit of analysis. This study employs the MeGAP-3 (The Municipal E-Government Assessmen Project) assessment tool to assess the status of municipal e-government in the Agder region in southern Norway, an area with high Internet penetration and mature information and communication technology (ICT) use. MeGAP-3 proved effective in providing a relative positioning of these Norwegian municipalities, but we argue that country specific assessment indicators are needed to complement the tool and enable cross-country …
