Governing's State & Local Sourcebook is an authoritative resource for data about the states and the largest U.S. municipalities, as well as contact information on state and local decision makers. Thousands of Governing subscribers have come to rely on the Sourcebook for the information they need to manage programs and make policy.

This site contains essential information in 10 categories, including data on revenue, spending, employment, technology trends, health insurance coverage and other important topics. The data is customizable and searchable, and will be frequently updated. You can compare governments in key areas, monitor trends over time, create data tables and even receive e-mail alerts when data is updated or new content is added.

The contacts directory, which is available exclusively to Governing print subscribers, includes addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses for state and local government leaders in all 50 states and the largest local governments. You can search by name, jurisdiction or category for governors, mayors, county executives, public works directors, school superintendents, city police chiefs and many more.

Governing has been publishing the State & Local Sourcebook since the early 1990s. To make the Sourcebook more timely and comprehensive, it is now an exclusively online publication.
