CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE
Best & Worst Managed Cities
Part 1, Worst Managed
01-17-12
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
California cities made both the “Best and Worst Cities Managed in the Nation,”
according to a new ranking by the website 24/7 Wall Street com. The review used
information from crime statistics (violent crime) to poverty rates, education
levels of residents, city credit ratings and financials, housing market indicators,
general overall economy specifically the city’s abilities to encourage business
prosperity and creation of jobs.
Unfortunately, three California cities made the Top Ten list of the “Worst Managed.”
However, the list apparently does not take into account cities below 100,000
populations as the City of Bell should have been ranked as the worst managed in
the state. Nonetheless, here is the list.
TOP 10 WORST MANAGED CITIES IN THE NATION
1. Miami, FL
2. Detroit, MI
3. Newark, NJ
4. San Bernardino, CA
5. Cleveland, OH
6. Stockton, CA
7. St. Louis, MO
8. Fresno, CA
9. North Las Vegas, NV
10. Hialeah, FL
Tomorrow, Part 2, the “Best Managed.”
I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
