Research Notes

Do Metropolitan Special Districts Reinforce Sociospatial Inequalities? A Study of Sewerage and Technical Education in Milwaukee County

Brett W. Hawkins and Rebecca M. Hendrick
University of Wisconsin Milwaukee

Public choice scholars state that federal systems are more responsive and efficient than unified ones. In addition, through overlapping units, federal systems provide a measure of interjurisdiclional equity. This research addresses the equity claim and extends the testing of it beyond previously-examined federal, state, and county role! to the unexamined role of metropolitan districts that overlap cities and suburbs. Services provided by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewerage Qistricl and the Milwaukee Area Technical College are found to be disparity-reducing between the City of Milwaukee and its suburbs.
