Examines the relationship between fiscal stress & municipal policy toward growth in WI cities, villages, & towns, drawing on data from two 1998 surveys. Cities & villages tended to exert greater growth management effort than did towns, as measured by policies adopted.

To the extent that growth leads to marginal increases in overall costs, cities & villages appear more willing & able than towns to exact influence through greater growth management effort. 3 Tables, 45 References.
