14 Cities in the Commonwealth were designed to Compete

Dillon Rule State

Importance of Locally Raised Revenue to support city services

“The many governments within a single metropolitan area are almost designed to fight among themselves because state law makes them largely dependent on locally raised tax revenues...People, pies, cars, rails, and the nebulous entity known as the economy might flow seamlessly across local boundaries, but sales and property tax dollars rarely do.”
