From the supplier: Local government budgets are often uncontrollable and difficult to forecast.

Results show that budget officers usually have to contend with the consequences of fiscal shortfalls, citizen hostility, changing state funding levels, state economic fluctuations and the perception that they have little control over their budgets.
