Answer 2

State and local governments derive a large portion of their incomes from intergovernmental revenue, and unlike the federal government they both spend large portions of their money on education expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intergovernmental revenue refers to money received by state and local government from other levels of government, e.g. state governments receiving money from the federal government, or local governments receiving money from state governments.

The largest sources of income for state and local governments are:

• property taxes 35% of total revenue
• sales taxes 34% of total revenue
• local governments receive 36% of their income from intergovernmental revenue (32% from state and 4% from federal)

The federal government only pays for 8% of education expenses, while the rest is paid by state and local governments.
