The report itself is a 220-page analysis of how change occurs in local government operations, and it is not a mind-control textbook in any sense of the word. The preface specifically states, quote, finally, our report tries to be objective. Put another way, we do not want to assume any stance. We do not advocate change or restructuring of any kind. What a community does or plans to do should remain up to the jurisdiction's leadership based on the unique facts of the law. We do feel, however, that it's timely to study in practical form the ways in which change occurs when it does.
