About the cover: Terms like “big” and “small” lose their meaning when you consider scope. A drop of water in the ocean seems small. But that same drop in a thimble is a big deal. So, it is with local government achievements. Too often, we focus on the big things happening in big places. But we can’t overlook the relatively big things happening in small towns because, well, they’re “big” deals too. In this issue of VTC we begin to make amends.

About the cover: Localities have been riding a raft of Federal actions with money either trickling down or flowing directly to local governments.
