Sampling:

The sample for the Fall 2014 MPPS included on average two officials from each of the local

general purpose units of government (83 counties, 278 cities, 255 villages, and 1,240

townships) in the state of Michigan. The sample frame included, where the position existed

and was not vacant, the top elected and top appointed official in each jurisdiction. For counties,

this consisted of county administrators, executives, and board chairs; for cities, mayors and

city managers; for villages, village presidents, clerks, and managers. Townships are a special

case, in that, typically, their governing officials are all elected. Therefore, in townships, both the

elected supervisors and the elected clerks were administered surveys, as well as the few

appointed township managers.

Collection Mode(s): mail questionnaire; web-based survey
