Trust in Government and Support for Municipal Services
نویسنده
چکیده
This article examines the relationship between trust in government and support for local governmental services. It is hypothesized that trust in government will predict support for local government services, but that trust will differentially predict support across policy areas. The results demonstrate that trust predicts support for human services and infrastructure but is not related to support for emergency services. The findings of this article contribute to the broader literature on attitudes toward local governmental services and may hold potential clues for policy makers interested in understanding the factors that shape public preferences for governmental service delivery.
