Abstract:
State Constitutional changes proposed a shift in local government by granting the General Assembly the power to organize and structure a city or town's government. Previously, the Municipal Corporation Act (1917) ensured that an independent city or town could choose for itself one of the four forms of government detailed in the act. Mr. Gardner, Associate Director of The Institute of Government, explains each of the four types of government and reviews the consequence of such a shift from local to statewide government control.
