Case Study Critique Assignment Instructions
Abstract
This case examines the political trade-offs and tough decisions that must be made to restore a municipal government to fiscal stability. In an era of flat revenue growth or decline, many municipalities face stark choices regarding economic development and growth. Oakdale, a suburb of a medium-sized city, is struggling to compete with the more prosperous and attractive surrounding municipalities for redevelopment projects and business investment. Complicating the situation is a scandal involving the previous city administrator who was found guilty of violating state ethics laws and gross fiscal malfeasance.
