Social Equity Final Research Paper (20 percent of final grade)
Public administrators are expected to make budgetary decisions that are in the best interest of the residents of their respective jurisdictions. Often times these decisions are confounded because of policy preferences, historical precedence, budgetary needs, individual beliefs and a host of other factors. Sometimes neglected, but still paramount, is the need for public administrators and all levels of leadership in a jurisdiction to include social equity in the budgetary decision-making process. Take on the role of a Director of Finance for a local government in California. You may want to choose the city in which you live, or another familiar location. Assume that a new housing subdivision has been approved for construction that will begin in early 2021. The new sub-division is a great opportunity for your city, but questions will emerge from the public on how it will impact their lives. Additionally, new schools and healthcare facilities are expected to be built to address the needs of an increase in population. Furthermore, a fair and equitable sales tax rate will need to be established that is mindful of rates in nearby jurisdictions along with ways to encourage commercial real estate while not being overly burdensome. Taxation will also have an impact on current residents and those whom you hope to attract to your sub-division. Taking all of these factors into consideration, as you prepare to address the public, discuss how the concept of social equity will be included within the budgetary decision-making process of:
1. Funding for education
2. Funding for healthcare
3. Income redistribution
4. Taxation
5. Tax Incidence
Your paper should be 5-7 pages in length with 1-inch margins, not including your reference page. Make sure you follow the grading rubric to ensure you have addressed each of the points/prompts required. Your paper is due Monday December 7th, by 11:59 PM. No late papers will be accepted.
