Fiscal localism

Fiscal localism means that the government makes decisions about money (or 'fiscal') that are related to a particular place (or 'local' ). This means that decisions about how the government uses tax money, like how much to spend on roads, schools, health care, and other public services, can be made closer to the people who use those services, like in their own town or city. That way, the people who use those services can have more of a say in how their money is spent.
