The press release linked seems to be a good starting point for seeing what issues county government faces. I think I will be returning to it often. This is just one part of it:
Camden County Freeholders Introduce 2010 Budget | Camden County, NJ: "Camden County started with a 2010 budget deficit of over $35 million. Some of the major causes are as follows:
* Increase in employee compensation costs (Medical benefits, pension, etc.)
* Loss of state revenue (Prosecutor, College, Tech School, and Health Services Center)
* Reduction of non-tax revenue (Interest income, register of deeds, etc.)
* Reduction in surplus funds as an item of revenue
* Increases in general operating expenses including utilities for county facilities; food and medical at the jail, etc."
