Dear Craig: This month's cover story brings insights from the city manager of Gainesville, Florida, and the county manager of Alachua County, Florida, on how community and religious leaders, and local government officials, handled public safety threats and outrage caused by a church's hateful social media campaign. The feature article on effective social service programs describes what managers can do to ensure that resources are invested in programs that work. Then, an assistant city manager assembles 10 "Lincoln laws" that are as relevant today as they were in 1860. Don't forget to check out the three exclusive PMplus articles: You get practical advice on developing an accurate capital budgeting plan, discover the benefits of getting accreditation for your building department, and get a great commentary that you could hand to your newly elected officials.
