A comprehensive review of over 100 city or county budgets.

Given the comparisons that have been made, Pima County's per capita expenditure is among the lowest of other high growth counties with a similar population base.
Survey results for wetland plant communities of the Agua Caliente Park and nearby La Cebadilla property. The study also documented the presence or absence of Huachuca water umbel, a plant listed as endangered in Pima County.
