Louisiana parishes, the organized boroughs of Alaska, independent cities, and the District of Columbia are equivalent to counties for administrative purposes. In New England, counties function at most as judicial court districts and sheriff's departments (presently, in Connecticut only as judicial court districts—and in Rhode Island, they have lost both those functions and most others but they are still used by the United States Census Bureau and some other federal governmental agency's for some federal functions ), and most of the governmental authority below the state level is in the hands of towns and cities. ^ The United States Census Bureau and the Office of Management and Budget consider the entire District of Columbia to be a county equivalent.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3660.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3660.txt
