Function Of Local Government

In my opinion, I think the local government should have the ability to set their budget. In addition to that, they need to be empowered by their state governments to legislate new laws, without waiting for the state legislators to approve it. It also depends on the importance of that law if it will help improve the life in that jurisdiction or

Texas is the second most populous state as well as the second largest state in the United States of America (Brown, Langenegger, Garcia, Lewis, & Biles, 2014). With a huge number of people currently calling Texas their home, it would make sense to draw the conclusion that the Texas government must make this state a great place to live by serving its citizens to the best of its abilities. However, it is best not to make assumptions and in order to ascertain whether the local government actually fulfills this role we must look at multiple aspects of the government.

Local authorities such as the county and city councils have roles such as education, libraries, public transport, emergency planning which will contribute in more of the latest technology resources which will help the people of illness or of people who need immediate medical attention; this will help services throughout a city or a county. Planning and development to improve on the communities appearance; this will make the people in the society love the place where they live which may lead to less criminal damage. Also fire and public safety and waste management and trading standards. Councils make decisions on the situations within the community; they do this by holding council meetings to discuss what needs to be done to help the society. Members of the public are allowed to attend the meetings so they have first hearing of the decisions discussed than those who don’t attend. All decisions the council make in these meeting must be later published. In my opinion I would say that local authorities are a good thing to have as they can focus on small communities than looking at things as a whole country, otherwise no problems within a community will be solved. I think there should be no improvements for local authorities as they tackle all areas that need improving in the community. Local authorities help the public

KAMAL SIMKHADA SHERY SHARIFIAN GOVT 2306 May 7, 2017 Local Control in Texas Local control is one of the governing bodies that manage the public affairs and governs the particular areas and cities. Local control focused on management of the states and cities. 1 "Local control is an important principle that should guide lawmakers in their consideration of bills that affect local government" (Rinaldi). The local government holds a power for making policies along with controlling the budgets. However, the state government is making interference with the local government especially when it comes to policymaking. The republicans speaking openly about restraining the municipality’s control has started to raise the controversy (“Local Control

Discussion of local government is a subject where eyes glaze over and information floats in one ear and right out the other. Most citizens know in greater depth about national politics rather than local, even if the city government has a greater influence and impact on daily life. With the permission of Professor Duckworth, I watched Frisco Independent School District’s board meeting online (link provided, pg. 4). The school board meeting explained a lot about the process, organization, and the structure of local politics.

As a result, it is possible for the citizens to vote to implement this type of government. Therefore, in April of 2013 the Somerset-Pulaski County United group formed and began the process of having feasibility studies done to see if the formation of an urban county government would be an alternative that would serve our area well. According to the Commonwealth Journal, a newspaper in Somerset, Kentucky, “A group of about 60 community leaders, clustered as Somerset-Pulaski County United (SPCU), is embarking on a study to determine if a consolidated or united government in Pulaski County would be more efficient and more responsive to the county’s 63,000 residents.” (Mardis and Shmidheiser). This group, a cross-section that well represents the residents of this county, believes that the formation an urban county government is a great opportunity for all our futures.

How are they forming curriculums to most effectively teach real world skills, how much money are they investing and in which areas are they investing, and how are they obtaining the best educators? These are all questions that need to be addressed to fully understand how local governments shape the and pass legislation that reforms American education. Answering this myriad of questions will help local government officials find the most effective strategies for pass education policies which will in turn will help create a more successful system for the entire nation. The future of the United States hinges on how education is handled. If the nation fails to equip students with the necessary tools to compete in the world, then the United States will fall even farther back in the

American local governments sprouted in response to a combination of citizen demand, interest group pressure, and state government acquiescence. As a consequence, no scientific system of local government exists. General-purpose local governments perform a wide variety of governmental functions, and counties, municipalities, and towns and townships all fall into this category. Special purpose local governments generally focus on a specific purpose and one function. Best known of these are the school districts. Regardless of name, it is state government that gives local governments of all types their legal life.

The elected leaders of the council represent their community and are responsible to ensure the overall operations of the municipality. Day to day oversight of the local agencies is granted to the manager who can carry out policies of the elected to ensure maximum effectiveness of services. This authority allows the local manager to be able to conduct the work of the elected in a flexible method which best meets the need of the citizens. The process of accountability and review within the local government allows for rapid response to address short term community plans and short term goals. As the government becomes closer to the citizens it becomes more accountable for its

My role in government is to overlook cases and evaluate evidence. I make sure that the facts giving are accurate and that everything is presented fairly and unbiased. Judges serve the people while we are appointed by the president rather than the people.

State and Local governments are micro governments of the bigger Federal government, each unique to its own way of life and people living in that state. The governments are structure much like our federal government. With a person in charge, be it the mayor or governor, and a chain of command down the list. All helping to run the State. Each state is unique with laws and standards, and each has its own different judicial standards. Some have there own versions of Supreme Court that dictate laws for the state. All these things I will be looking at and analyzing in three different states.

What is local government and how does something much smaller than the bigger picture have an more immense impact on individual’s lives? Local government is the administration, of a district, state, or county, in which the citizen elects the officials corresponding to their particular area. Local government is essential throughout America. It entitles people the right to have a say in what is going on in their community, on a governmental stance. Local government, moreover, establishes and enforce local laws. Local government, furthermore, is responsible for establishing and delivering a range of quality to their community. Local government sets the direction in which they want to see their region going in. Local government uses a long-term plan in which they set: financial plans, council plans, municipal strategic statement, and other strategic tactics. With the use of the tactics, they determine how they want their region to progress. People should be concerned about their local government because it allows them to have a say in what happens in their community, and it makes local laws which directly affect the people in their region.

Local government institutions have always existed in India in one form or another since ancient times. The present form of urban local government owes its genesis to the British rule. The initiation began with Samuel Laing, member of the Viceroy's Council, in the Budget Speech (1861-62) proposing that local services should be based on local resources. Lord Mayo's Resolution of 1870 introduced the concept of elected representatives in the municipalities. Lord Ripon is considered the founding father of urban local government as he implanted the concept of municipal authorities as units of self-government. His Resolution of 18 May 1882 on local self-government dealt with the constitution of local bodies, their functions, finances
