Individual State Descriptions: 2002 Census of Governments vol. I no. 2
Report Number GC02(1)-2
Introduction
A census of governments is taken at 5-year intervals as required by law under Title 13, United States Code, Section 161. This 2002 census, similar to those taken since 1957, covers three major subject fields—government organization, public employment, and government finances.
Volume 1, No 2, Government Organization, contains two parts that explain the organization of state and local governments. They are No. 1, Government Organization; and No. 2, Individual State Descriptions. This report No. 2, provides information about the organization of state and local governments. There is a separate summary for each state and the District of Columbia. The summaries are divided according to the five basic type of local governments recognized for the U.S. Census Bureau’s classification of government units—county, municipal, township, school district, and special district governments.
