From the Paper:

"In 1995, members of Congress and the Clinton Administration visited a number of communities in the state of Oregon looking for progressive government and viable local economies that could serve as models for reinventing government and civic welfare and accountability. Among the communities they visited were Tillamook County, a rural farming and fishing community in northwest Oregon. They reviewed the county's governance and found that it tied all aspects of government together in such a way that child care and education, for example, were effectively delivered in a systematic and synchronized manner, so that all government offices worked together to increase civic life (The Institute for Educational Leadership, 1996, p 22)."
