As far as the Cincinnati, Ohio data goes....in 1997 the urban forestry
budget 
was $1.3 million.  In 1997, the city's total budget was $600 million.  
Therefore, 0.22% of the city total budget was allocated for urban forestry.

The wide range of per capita spending, in my opinion, is a reflection of
the 
value the politicians and citizens place upon their urban forest, the age
of the
program, and the citizens' service level expectations (the higher the level
of 
services expected, the higher the urban forestry budget).  Cincinnati's per

capita spending at this time is $3.56.

If you have any other questions, please contact me at your convenience.
