EXPERIMENT IN FUNDING BUREAUCRACY
Josephine County in southwestern Oregon is a tiny example of the fiscal crises cropping up across the United States. Like its larger counterparts, Josephine County is becoming fiscally insolvent. As everywhere, the question is how to fund big bureaucracies. Josephine County is trying desperately and they have created an alternative funding scheme that may well be headed toward a backyard near you, if not already there.
