Abstract
This article examines the relationship of state and federal grants to local needs and constituent incentives. Focusing on Minnesota cities, the model hypothesizes that grants could be related to social and economic needs, fiscal stress of cities, or political factors. Regression results support the importance of political factors, especially bureaucratic incentives and power, to explain grant levels. There also is empirical support for economic dependency variables.
