In a political environment characterized by intense urban-rural polarization and growing hostility between cities and state legislatures, the ability to lobby can be a powerful tool for city leaders seeking to amplify their voices in state politics. The cities that lobby at the highest rates include large urban centers that have been historically underrepresented in our federal system--and, increasingly, blue-leaning cities engaged in preemption battles against Republican-led legislatures. But high-income places have also figured out how to strategically use lobbyists, and these communities have become particularly adept at lobbying to secure additional grant money and shift state funding in a direction that favors them. How did we end up with a system where political officials in different levels of government often choose to pay lobbyists to facilitate communication between them, and are the potential benefits worth the costs? When Cities Lobby demonstrates that the answer is deeply rooted in both the nature of the federal system and the evolution of the professional lobbying industry. And while some states have recently debated measures to restrict lobbying by local governments, these efforts will likely do more harm than good in the absence of structural reforms to the lobbying industry more broadly"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Lobbying $z United States. 650 0 $a Local government $z United States. 650 0 $a Polarization (Social sciences) $z United States. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Payson, Julia. $t When cities lobby $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2022] $z 9780197615294 $w (DLC) 2021038644 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015232.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220303012044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B5850846DF511ECB33FF4E951ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
