Reagan, as Governor of California, initiated a project
to restructure local government. A woman named, K.
Maureen Heaton in a book titled Impossible Dream[1],
documented her activism in opposition to what she called
‘big government takeover’ – consolidation of city and
county governments. Through that activism, she managed
to get a copy of a report titled, “The Politics of
Change in Local Government Reform”[2].
This report included case studies on experiences of
local government consolidation attempts as well as the
conditions under which changes could be made and the
requirements for when the change-enabling event
occurred.
