Question

Describe three ways local governments in Texas raise money other than taxes. Which public service requires the highest amount of local funding? Give three examples of how the local government fulfills this service.

(NOT A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION)

Answer 1

Local governments in Texas raise money through fees and fines, federal grants, state funding, and bonds. The majority of local funds are used to provide for public safety. They are able to provide public safety through emergency services, health services, and public maintenance.

Hope this Helps!

Answer 2

Three ways local governments in Texas raise money would be social security, medicare, and holding elections.

In my opinion the public service that requires the most money would be public transportation in order to travel throughout the city, because the tiny bus fares definitely don't cover all of the costs.

Three ways the local government funds the public transportation would be, using the tax payers money, cutting into the city funds, or having different fare rates per each rider.
