Sinopse

In City on the Line, former Baltimore budget director Andrew Kleine asks why the way government does its most important job &ndash, deciding how to spend taxpayer dollars &ndash, hasn&rsquo,t changed in hundreds of years. Parts memoir, manifesto, and manual, this book tells the story of Baltimore&rsquo,s radical departure from traditional line item budgeting to a focus on outcomes like better schools, safer streets, and stronger neighborhoods&mdash,during one of the most tumultuous decades in the city&rsquo,s history. Elected officials, executives, and citizens alike will be equipped to transform budgets in their city, state, or any other mission-driven organization.
