In the contemporary political climate, there is widespread belief that government expenditures are too high and that government in general is too big. One productive line of research into the size of government has examined the role of conflicting interests as a force producing government expansion. A major conclusion of this research, derived mostly from the examination of national-level political phenomena, is that conflict and competition among different interests within the population lead to higher government expenditures. In this paper, the size of government at another level--suburban municipalities--is explored. Given the context in which decisions about suburban government service outputs are made, conflict may actually limit government expansion
