State Government Finances

Holiday reading for our public administration students and others interested in statewide information: there is a new U.S. Census website focusing on State Government Finances. The site provides a comprehensive summary of annual survey findings for state governments. The tables and data files present the following details:

• Revenue, by type of revenue
• Expenditure, by object and function of expenditure
• Indebtedness, by long-term or short-term debt, and
• Asset, by purpose and type of asset
