Too Many Counties?

Williams, Elmer D.

Georgia Social Science Journal, v16 n3 p6-11 Sum 1985

Every state in the United States is divided into smaller units of local government. For example, Georgia has 159 counties. Proponents of reducing the number of counties argue for consolidation on the basis of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Activities are suggested to help secondary students explore this issue. (RM)
