Bowman & Kearney do a good job of thinking through the major categories of state and local government from a more local perspective. In that sense, it is unique as many state-and-local texts approach the subject from a national perspective. However, there is a lot of academic liberalism in this text.

July 19, 2016Pretty decent. Covers all aspects of state and local government, from the three branches, to budgets and taxes and everything in between. Very dense and was biased at times, but I still learned quite a lot.
Although it's cheaper as an ebook, if you can find a cheap physical book I'd suggest it because the Kindle version I had was terrible.
