<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of any reports, papers, or textbooks that address a healthy and balanced local municipal budget from a revenue generation perspective?<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">First I am interested in what is generally thought of as a healthy balance between residential and commercial/industrial bases assuming that a residential base of 80% or more is not likely ideal.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Next is what percentage of property tax versus other revenue sources typifies a “healthy” budget? As a part of this, it might be good to know on a sliding scale what is least to most regressive.<u></u><u></u></p>
