Description:

In City On The Line, former Baltimore budget director and Silver Spring resident Andrew Kleine asks why the way government does its most important job – deciding how to spend taxpayer dollars – hasn’t changed in one hundred, maybe one thousand, years. Part memoir, manifesto and manual, this book tells the story of Baltimore’s radical departure from traditional budgeting during one of the most tumultuous decades in the city’s history. Kleine’s profiles of public servants striving to change an entrenched system engage the reader from cover to cover. Elected officials, executives, and citizens alike will be both entertained and equipped to transform budgets and achieve better outcomes for their city, state, or any other mission-driven organization.
