The State and Local Government Finances contain statistics on revenue, expenditure, debt, and assets (cash and security holdings) for governments. There are statistics for the 50 state areas and the District of Columbia, as well as a National summary. Statistics also are available by level of government -- state, local, and state plus local aggregates. For 1997, county-area totals are also available.
